--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      Pound         Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts -- ground
    1/2  Cup           Chopped Onion -- 1 medium
    1/4  Cup           Egg - Second Nature
    1/3  Cup           Dry Bread Crumbs

Place meatballs in single layer on ungreased cookie sheet.  Freeze uncovered
