Ingredients

cooking spray
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup sour cream
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken
½ (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed, or more as needed
1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking pan with cooking spray; line with foil.
Whisk eggs and sour cream in a large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Add chicken; mix with your hands until well combined. Mix in crushed crackers until you can form a ball with the mixture. Use your hands to roll into 8 to 10 equal-sized meatballs; place in the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each meatball should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
Place marinara sauce in a medium saucepan; add meatballs and simmer over low heat until warm, about 10 minutes.
