Step 4
Add the Parmesan, parsley, shallots, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper and stir to combine well.
Step 5
Add the chicken, and use your hands to mix everything until very well blended, trying not to squish the mixture too much.
Step 6
Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs, tucking a cube of mozzarella into the middle of each one, then sealing it in with the chicken mixture.
Step 7
Place the meatballs on the baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake until cooked through and the cheese inside is all melty, 16 to 20 minutes (cut one open to test; that one is yours).
