Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or coat lightly with EVOO oil.

Step 3

Mix together the milk and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the bread crumbs.

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).

Step 9

Serve with the tomato sauce and additional Parmesan, sprinkling with fresh basil if desired.
