Ingredients: (yields 4 servings)
1 pound Ground Chicken

1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly coat large baking sheet with non-stick olive oil spray.
In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined (easiest to use your hands!)
Shape mixture into about 24 meatballs. (approximately 1 tablespoon each)
