Instructions

Add the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, onion, and seasonings in a large mixing bowl.
Mix using your hands or a silicone spatula until everything is well combined.
Roll each piece of meat into a ball using your hand(you can also use a cookie scoop), and place them on a plate.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs in a single layer, leaving space between them, and cook them for about 5 minutes on each side.
Repeat the process with the rest of the meatballs.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley, and enjoy them with your favorite sauce or side dish.

Notes

This recipe will make around 12 meatballs, meaning each serving would consist of 3 meatballs.

Oven Option: If you prefer baking over frying, you can bake the meatballs at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through for even browning. This method is less hands-on and reduces the amount of oil used.
