Step-by-Step Instructions for Ranch Chicken Meatballs
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, ranch seasoning mix, fresh parsley, minced dried onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
  2. With your hands, scoop out a portion of the mixture and roll it into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs. Place them on a baking sheet or platter, ensuring space between them.
  3. Pour olive oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  4. Add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the meatballs and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
