    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 🧂 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • For Sauce

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup white wine

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

3

For meatballs, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until tender, about 3 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.

4

Combine ground chicken, panko, cornstarch, Italian seasoning, salt, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Gently stir in cooled onion mixture.

5

Shape mixture into about 20 meatballs using about 1 1/2 tablespoons per meatball. Place on prepared baking sheet.

6

Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of meatballs reaches 165°F (74°C), about 20 to 25 minutes.

7

Meanwhile, for sauce, heat butter in the same skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour and cook 1 additional minute. Add wine and chicken broth. Simmer and stir until thickened and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes.

8

Stir in cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

9

Add meatballs to skillet, stir to coat in sauce. Return to a simmer, about 1 minute.

10

Serve warm.
