# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
02 - Add the ground chicken to a large bowl, then add the seasoned breadcrumb mixture and the egg. Use your hands to combine until evenly mixed.

06 - In a medium sauce pot, heat the pasta sauce over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
07 - Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the pot of heated pasta sauce and stir to coat. Heat for a few minutes if necessary.
08 - Serve the cooked pasta topped with sauce and meatballs.
