Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and chopped green onions.

  4. Pour the egg mixture into the chicken mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
