✅ For the Meatballs:
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Make the Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, ricotta, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir or mix by hand until everything is evenly blended.
Step 3: Form the Meatballs
Shape into balls about the size of a golf ball and place on the lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to help them brown nicely.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and lightly golden (internal temp should be 165°F / 74°C).Recipe Management App
