Scale

- ½ teaspoon dried oregano

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper; set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, cooking until tender, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in the poultry seasoning and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and water, then bring to a rolling boil.
- Use a small spoon to scoop ½-inch pieces of the chicken mixture directly into the boiling broth. They do not need to be rolled into balls.
