Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and mix again to incorporate the oil into the meatball mixture. The oil helps keep the meatballs moist during baking.
4. Shape the mixture into meatballs using your hands or a cookie scoop, depending on your desired size. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
5. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. You can test for doneness by cutting into one of the larger meatballs to ensure there is no pink in the center.
6. Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy these meatballs on their own as a snack or appetizer, or serve them with your favorite gluten-free pasta and marinara sauce for a delicious meal.

These baked gluten-free chicken meatballs are flavorful, tender, and perfect for anyone following a gluten-free and dairy-free diet. Adjust the seasoning and spices according to your taste preferences, and enjoy a wholesome and satisfying dish!
