  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Roll the chicken mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each.
