Mix the base
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine the shredded Parmesan, bread crumbs, lightly beaten egg, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, minced parsley, and black pepper.

Add the chicken
Add the ground chicken and mix lightly but thoroughly. Don't overwork it — overmixing is what makes meatballs tough.

Shape
Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. A cookie scoop keeps them even so they cook at the same rate. Place them on a greased rack set in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

Bake
Bake until cooked through and the internal temp hits 165°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with extra chopped parsley if you like.
