Italian Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients: (yields 4 servings)
1 pound Ground Chicken
1 large egg
1/4 cup Italian Bread crumbs (or you can create breadcrumbs with bran cereal and Italian seasonings for added fiber!)

2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan
2 Tbsp Yellow onion, diced
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)
Bake for 20-24 minutes or until minimum internal temperature reaches 165 F. Meatballs should be slightly browned on the outside.
Enjoy over a high fiber pasta, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, etc! Tastes great with tomato or vodka sauce!
