- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken breast, reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, plain breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, finely chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
