In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, scallion greens, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, roll the mixture into balls about 3/4 inch in diameter (you should get roughly 40–45 meatballs) and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
