🍽️ Baked Chicken Ricotta Meatballs with Spinach – Tender, Juicy & Full of Flavor! 🌿🧀

These chicken ricotta meatballs are so soft and delicious, they melt in your mouth. I started making them when I wanted a lighter take on classic meatballs, and they’ve been a cozy go-to ever since. Perfect over pasta, zoodles, or just on their own with a little marinara!

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan
• 1 egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, ricotta, spinach, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until just combined.
3️⃣ Scoop and roll into 1½-inch meatballs and place on the baking sheet.
4️⃣ Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
5️⃣ Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden top.

Serve with marinara, over pasta, or enjoy them as protein-packed bites!
