Steps(6)

1
Add the chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, Ranch seasoning and Parmesan cheese to a mixing bowl. Mix with your hands, being careful not to overmix.
2
Carefully form meatballs that are about the size of golf balls; you should get about 24–26.
3
Heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan by ¼ inch in a nonstick skillet set over medium heat.
4
Add the meatballs in a single layer (you may have to do this in two batches) and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
5
Garnish with diced parsley or your favorite herb.
6
Serve hot as an appetizer with toothpicks or with our [bowtie pasta recipe]/recipe/ranch-pasta-chips/).

Air fry variation: Preheat the air fryer for 400°F. Working in batches, space the meatballs out in the tray of the air fryer. Cook for 8–10 minutes until cooked through.

Oven variation: Spread meatballs out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes in a 400°F oven until cooked through.
