Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup spinach, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce by combining heavy cream, chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach in a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and let them simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use ground turkey instead of ground chicken.
  • Feel free to add more vegetables to the sauce, such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • This dish pairs well with pasta or rice.
