Chicken Ricotta Meatballs with Spinach Alfredo Sauce

Creamy Spinach Alfredo with Tender Chicken Ricotta Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring in the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the meatballs are fully cooked and the sauce is creamy.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
