Tuscan Chicken Meatballs With Gnocchi

Ingredients

 1 lb. ground chicken or turkey

 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

 1 large egg

 1 tsp. Italian seasoning

 1 tsp. kosher salt

 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

 1 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

 1 1/2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated 

 1/2 small yellow onion

 4 garlic cloves

 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

 1/2 cup dry white wine

 1 pkg. gnocchi

 3 cups packed baby spinach leaves

 1/2 cup heavy cream

 

Directions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, using your hands, combine chicken, panko, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, 1/2 cup tomatoes, and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Form mixture into 18 (about 1") meatballs.

Step 2: In a slow cooker, combine onion, garlic, broth, wine, and tomato oil; season with salt. Nestle in meatballs. Cover and cook on High until meatballs are cooked through, about 4 hours.

Step 3: Arrange a rack in upper third of oven; heat broiler. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to a foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Add gnocchi and remaining 1/2 cup tomatoes to slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on High until gnocchi is tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 5: Meanwhile, broil meatballs, watching closely and turning halfway through, until golden brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 6: Stir spinach, cream, and 1/4 cup Parmesan into slow cooker. Return meatballs to slow cooker. Cover and cook until spinach wilts, about 5 minutes more.

Step 7: Divide gnocchi and meatballs among bowls. Top with more Parmesan.
