Equipment
Large mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking sheet
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, ricotta cheese, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, pepper, panko breadcrumbs, and beaten egg.
Use your hands or a spatula to gently fold everything together until well combined and the mixture is cohesive.
Shape the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs, placing each one on the prepared baking sheet as you go. You should get about 12 meatballs.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each meatball for a golden crust and even browning.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The edges should be crisp, and the interior still moist.
Once baked, let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving. They should be juicy inside with a nicely browned exterior.
Serve the meatballs warm, perhaps with a side of pasta, sauce, or fresh greens. Enjoy their tender, cheesy texture and crispy crust.
