1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Line baking sheet with parchment or foil. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet pan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add spinach and 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing, until just wilted, 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Let cool slightly, then squeeze out excess liquid and finely chop. Combine spinach in bowl with chicken, feta cheese, paprika, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Thoroughly combine; the mixture should be wet but not soupy from egg. Roll mixture evenly into about 2-inch balls and place on baking sheet; bake until just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes.
