1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the meatballs with cooking spray to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
