Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup spinach finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, green parts only, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, green onions, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a meatball shape using your hands. Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown and prevent sticking.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
  • Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as an appetizer, pair with a side salad, or serve with a gluten-free pasta and a suitable sauce.
