Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until just combined.
Shape into golf ball-sized meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
Remove the meatballs and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and chopped spinach, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and coated in the creamy sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For even richer flavor, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before adding the cream.
Use turkey or beef if preferred in place of chicken.
These meatballs pair wonderfully with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
