Finally - the perfect use for all those little ketchup packets you collect in your travels! Send a few along for dipping these delicious little meatballs. Or if your child prefers, pack a small container of spaghetti sauce, barbecue sauce or sweet and sour sauce instead.
500 g ground chicken
1 egg
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs, (or 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 tsp garlic powder, (or 1 garlic clove, minced)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper. Mix together with a fork or clean bare hands until very well combined. Form into 1 in. (2 cm) meatballs, rolling them between your hands so they're round and compact.
Place meatballs in one layer on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through baking. Remove from oven and let cool, then refrigerate.
Serve cold meatballs with a small container of sauce or ketchup for dipping. If your child likes shredded cheese, you can include a small baggie to mix with the sauce at lunchtime.
