Chicken Florentine Meatballs

From Taste of Home



Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground chicken

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble chicken over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls.

Place meatballs on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink.

Comments:
I skipped the sauce and squash part of the recipe and just stuck with the meatballs. They were really good. I hesitate to use ground chicken because it always seems to be so mushy, but the breadcrumbs in this recipe really helped to hold everything together.
