Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and carefully place the meatballs in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
- Once the meatballs are browned, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to thicken.

- Remove from the heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve your succulent meatballs over your favorite side dish!
Notes
Don’t overmix the meatball ingredients to keep them tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat over low heat with a splash of chicken broth.
