In a large bowl, mix together chicken, grated onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. I use my hands.

Step 2

Roll into 20 meatballs and set on plate.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add meatballs and cook about 6-7 minutes or when internal is 165F, turning the meatballs every minute or so in order to get all sides cooked. Set meatballs aside on clean plate.
