Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large egg
1 pound ground chicken ((I like 93% lean))
1/2 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated )
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste (divided)
3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped )
2 1/2 cups fresh spinach (lightly packed )
Tomato sauce
Cooked whole wheat pasta, zucchini, or other vegetable noodles
Buns (for sandwiches)
Toothpicks (to serve as an appetizer)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Beat the egg in the bottom of a large bowl. Add the chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste. Finely chop the spinach so that it is in small bits, then add it to the bowl.
  • With a fork or your hands, mix until well combined, being careful not to compact the meat.
  • Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs and arrange them in the prepared baking dish, 1-inch apart, so they do not touch.
  • Whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste in a small bowl. It won't be perfectly smooth but will bake up just fine. Brush over the top of the meatballs.
  • Bake the meatballs in the upper third of the oven for 18 to 22 minutes until cooked through. Serve hot with pasta, zucchini noodles, inside a hoagie bun, or any way you choose!
