Prep & Preheat: Preheat your oven to 450°F and grease a large baking sheet.
Soak Breadcrumbs: Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl. Let them soak for 2 minutes to get nice and squishy.
Mix the Magic: In a large mixing bowl, toss together onion, garlic, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, ground chicken, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, ricotta, Parmesan, and Tuscan Evening. Mix gently—overmixing = dense meatballs, and nobody wants that.
Shape Meatballs: Form 2.5-inch meatballs and place them on your greased baking sheet.
Bake to Perfection: Pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden, crisp on the outside, and cooked through.
Alfredo Time: In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cheese, Please: Whisk in Parmesan until smooth and melty. For a flavor boost, sprinkle in a pinch of extra Tuscan Evening.
Green Goodness: Toss in baby spinach and cook until wilted.
Combine & Serve: Add baked meatballs to the sauce. Cook together for 2 more minutes until everything’s coated in creamy goodness.
Plating: Serve solo, or pile them on your favorite pasta. Bonus points for fresh crusty bread to mop up that sauce.

There you have it—tender, cheesy chicken meatballs bathed in rich Alfredo sauce, with a tangy herb twist courtesy of Tuscan Evening. Perfect for weeknights, impressing friends, or indulging yourself.

Pro Tip

Don’t overmix the meatballs—keep them light and tender.
Sun-dried tomatoes can be swapped with roasted red peppers for a different flavor vibe.
Make ahead: You can bake meatballs ahead of time and reheat in the sauce for a quick weeknight dinner.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days (if it lasts that long!).
