Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. 3 For meatballs, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until tender, about 3 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. 4 Combine ground chicken, panko, cornstarch, Italian seasoning, salt, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Gently stir in cooled onion mixture.
  5. 5 Shape mixture into about 20 meatballs using about 1 1/2 tablespoons per meatball. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  6. 6 Bake until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center of meatballs reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. 7 Meanwhile for sauce, heat butter in the same skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour and cook 1 additional minute. Add wine and chicken broth. Simmer and stir until thickened and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until slightly thickened, 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. 8 Add meatballs to skillet, stir to coat in sauce. Return to a simmer, about 1 minute.
  9. 9 Serve warm.
