Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare meatball mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
3️⃣ Form meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

✔️ Extra juicy meatballs: Don’t overmix the meat; gently combine ingredients for tender meatballs.
