Making Mediterranean Chicken Meatballs can be a delightful process. Follow these steps to create your dish:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

3. Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands or a spatula, mix all the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.

4. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Heat Olive Oil: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.

6. Brown the Meatballs: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Transfer cooked meatballs back to the baking sheet after browning.

7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

8. Rest: Once done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
