Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well blended. Use your hands or a spatula to form a uniform mixture.
  4. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the spinach Alfredo sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on top.
  7. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
