Directions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Soak the diced bread in warm water for 5 minutes, then squeeze out excess water and set aside.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add shallots and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant, then let cool.
- Combine soaked bread, ground chicken, shallots, garlic, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and salt in a mixing bowl; mix gently.
- Form the mixture into about 16 meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs.
- Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Meanwhile, prepare the tomato orzo in a separate pan: heat oil, add shallots, and sauté until soft, then mix in tomato paste and red pepper flakes for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in white wine and let reduce for 2 minutes. Add orzo and chicken stock, stirring until combined and cook until orzo is al dente, about 8 minutes.
- Lower heat, stir in heavy cream and spinach, mixing until fully incorporated and spinach is wilted.
- To serve, plate the creamy tomato orzo and top with the baked rosemary chicken meatballs. Garnish with fresh rosemary, parmesan, and parsley.
