Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (235°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Soak the Italian breadcrumbs in milk for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a food processor, add onion, garlic, parsley, and sun-dried tomatoes. Pulse until finely chopped.
- In a large bowl, combine the processed veggies with ground chicken, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, ricotta, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix gently.
- Shape the mixture into 18-20 meatballs, about 2.5 inches in diameter, and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- While baking, fry bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain excess fat.
- Melt butter in the same skillet, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
- Add heavy cream to the skillet and simmer. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Stir in baby spinach and cook until wilted. Add baked meatballs and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish with crumbled bacon and parsley before serving.
