Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, ranch seasoning mix, egg, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Use your hands to gently mix until well incorporated.
  2. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into golf ball-sized balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the formed chicken bombs on it with space in between.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray the tops of the chicken bombs with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  6. Remove from oven and place a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each bomb. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
