BAKED CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Beat the egg in the bottom of a large bowl. Add the chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste. Finely chop the spinach so that it is in small bits, then add it to the bowl.
• With a fork or your hands, mix until well combined, being careful not to compact the meat.
• Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs and arrange them in the prepared baking dish, 1-inch apart, so they do not touch.
