What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together egg and 3 tbsp (45 mL) of the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, basil, thyme and pepper. Add chicken and using your hands mix well to combine. Using about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the mixture, roll into a ball and then roll into remaining breadcrumbs and place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Push 1 olive into each meatball and reshape as necessary to form eyeball. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
Serve with pasta sauce, if desired.
Tips
Be sure to taste an olive before starting and if they are salty, drain and rinse them to help reduce the saltiness.
You can substitute extra lean ground beef, turkey or veal for the chicken.
