Chicken Spinach Meatballs

Meatballs have always been a staple in my Italian-American family. I grew up loving my nana's all-time tastiest meatballs and it's her recipe that I use when I make my own. This recipe is a spin on the traditional meatball and makes a great addition to a pasta meal or as an appetizer, as well.

The traditional “Cordon Blue” chicken breast recipe is a classic, fried formula that incorporates the tender goodness of chicken with the tasty goodness of ham and melted Swiss cheese. This concoction marries the same types of flavors, with an Italian twist.
