# Tuscan chicken meatballs

Tuscan Chicken Meatballs I
		m a big fan of Tuscan-style sauces. The combination of sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, tomatoes, and spices comes together into a rich, flavorful sauce that I could happily eat any night of the week. For the creamy base, you can use heavy cream (I personally use coconut milk), and while I usually make this with chicken breast, I decided to switch things up and go with tender, juicy chicken meatballs instead. Served over white rice, it was an absolute dream. #chickenmeatballs #easydinner #DinnerIdeas  Creamy chicken meatballs Tuscan chicken meatballs Easy chicken dinner Weeknight dinner recipe One pan chicken meatballs
