Directions
Chicken Meatballs With Spinach and Roasted Garlic, I was just looking for something different and this is what I came up with The higher cooking temp helps to keep the chicken moist You can keep these on warm in a crock pot for a party by adding enough chicken broth to cover the bottom of the crock , This recipe is great for young children because there are not too many spices, it is very moist on the inside and a bit crunchy on the outside I served it with white rice and my one and three-year old gobbled it up I made the following adjustments: Replaced asiago and mozzarella for ricotta cheese Mixed the ricotta with the egg, then added it to the rest of the ingredients Salted to my own taste Put the meat in Greek yogurt cups and dumped them on the foil lined baking sheet , Delicious flavor but slightly salty! Would alter salt to 1/2 teaspoon And I’m usually a salt freak The meatballs had a beautiful crunch on the outside with soft tender meat inside 20 mins at 400 degrees was perfect Definitely do want to use foil lined pan as the olive oil will leak out of the balls I might try the Alton Brown method of cooking meatballs with this recipe (put them in mini muffin pans which heats evenly and also maintains their round shape)
