Ingredients

1/4 large onion, chopped
1 3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon ground fennel
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken breast

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 F. In a small saucepan, saute the onions and garlic until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a medium bowl. Add the cheese, Italian seasoning, fennel, salt and pepper; mix well. Add the chicken and gently mix with hands until just combined. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs —about 3/4 ounces each. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature of the meatballs reach 165 F, about 15 minutes.
