Meatball Instructions

  • Grate the chicken breast in the food processor and add it to a mixing bowl.

  • Add the egg.
  • Add the parsley.
  • Add the garlic.
  • Add the breadcrumb.
  • Mix together until combined.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop, form balls and place onto the tray.
  • Cook the meatballs for 15 mins or until temp reaches 165F.
  • While the meatballs are cooking make the sauce.

Sauce Instructions

  • Melt the butter.
  • Add the cream.
  • Add the cheese.
  • Keep stirring throughout the process.
  • Add the spinach.
