Cheesy Chicken Meatballs

I was hunting for a good ground chicken recipe as I found it on sale super cheap a few weeks back and this is what came of it - I got this one off of allrecipes.com - pretty tasty - but if your kids don't like it spicy - keep the red pepper flakes out of their's.

1pd ground chicken
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c cream cheese (they said to use the roasted garlic kind - but we just had plain on hand)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dry bread crumbs
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp italian seasoning
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray - don't forget these can be sticky - well at least to the pan. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl; mix well. Form the mixture into 20 meatballs - we did larger because they were very soupy and harder to form - still works just fine - place on your lined and sprayed pan. Bake in your preheated oven until the juices run clear, appx 17-18 min. Your meat thermometer should read at least 165 degrees in the center to be done.
