½ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 lb. ground chicken
1 large egg
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp cooking oil
2 Tbsp butter
1 garlic clove
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1½ cups chicken broth
½ cup half and half

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the cooking oil over the meatballs and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute before slowly adding the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
