Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch meatballs, placing them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the meatballs are baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pappardelle and cook according to package instructions.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat and melt butter. Whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually add whole milk until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the shaved parmesan, wilted spinach, and cooked pappardelle into the thickened sauce.
- Dish up the pappardelle into bowls and top generously with the baked chicken meatballs.

Notes
Consider making extra meatballs to freeze for future meals. They can be easily pan-fried from frozen for a quick dinner option.
