Recipe - Chicken meatballs

I love ground beef, particularly extra lean.  But I'm always up for trying new things with ground chicken.  I was really craving meatballs today, so I thought I'd give it a shot!  Ground chicken tends to be much moister than beef, so I decide to omit the breadcrumbs and egg and see how they turned out...very good!

Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp dried parsley
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and make 12 meatballs.  Cook in a shallow baking dish  at 350 for 30 minutes.  Top with your favorite sauce.

Note, ground chicken is difficult to roll, but unlike ground beef it holds its shape, so just lightly form a ball and that's it.
