Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1 egg
¼ cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and smoked paprika.
Shape the chicken mixture into 20 mini meatballs.
Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the basket of your air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165F, turning halfway through the cooking time. Cook in batches. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do two or three batches.
