Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a non-stick baking sheet with oil

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko crumbs, egg, scallions, celery, carrot and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using clean hands, mix until combined. Roll the mixture (1/8 cup each) into 26 round meatballs
