Chicken Ricotta Meatballs with Spinach Alfredo Sauce

Tender chicken meatballs with creamy ricotta, served with a rich spinach Alfredo sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, ricotta, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
