Step 1

Position the rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

Step 2

Stir together the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan, parsley, ricotta, Italian seasoning, 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl until evenly combined.

Step 3

Roll the mixture into 16 meatballs (about 3 tablespoons each). Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should be 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer), 22 to 25 minutes.
