- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup chopped fresh mozzarella, or as needed
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Combine chicken, egg, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, basil, red pepper, garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, and oregano in a freezer-safe bowl and mix well. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to make the mixture firmer and easier to handle.
- Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to form the mixture into about 14 meatballs a little larger than a golf ball. Add a piece of mozzarella cheese to the center of each meatball, making sure cheese is covered by meat. Place meatballs on a nonstick baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes.
