Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg white, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, ensuring you do not overwork the meat to keep the meatballs tender.
Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll into uniform 1-inch balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush the tops of the meatballs with extra virgin olive oil to encourage a golden-brown crust.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exteriors are lightly browned.
While the meatballs are in the oven, add the marinara sauce to a small skillet and warm over low heat.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and carefully transfer them into the skillet, tossing gently to coat each one in the sauce.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with freshly chopped basil and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
