Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or tenderloin
  • 1/2 medium onion, grated
  • 3 large garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Palce in the food processor. Pulse until the chicken is starting to grind. Leave the mixer on and let the meat grind. It should take about 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the meat is ground, remove the blade. Add in the grated onion, grated garlic, egg, panko, and salt. Use hands to gently combine everything together. Do not overmix.
  • Use a small cookie or ice cream scoop to form the chicken mixture into 25 meatballs. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Damp hands with cold water. Roll into uniform meatballs. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Serve right away or cool completely and store in an airtight containter. Freeze for up to two months.
