Meatball Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Using an ice cream or cookie scoop, form the mixture into evenly sized balls.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown them for about 5 minutes on all sides.
Sauce Preparation
- In the same skillet, add chopped bacon and cook until crisp, around 4-5 minutes.
- Sauté minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes in the rendered bacon fat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then, add the baby spinach and cook until wilted.
- Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, then mix the cornstarch and milk together and add to the skillet along with the heavy cream. Stir until smooth.
- Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the sauce, adjusting seasonings to taste.
- Return the meatballs to the pan and allow them to simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve your meatballs topped with fresh basil or parsley.
