These easy baked CHICKEN MEATBALLS & SPAGHETTI are so juicy with crisped edges tossed in a tasty tomato basil garlic sauce.

I’ll be the first to admit that regular meatballs are not a favorite of mine, save the gasps please.

They’re just not the best tasting things that exist in this world (I know, you probably disagree) BUT these are a different story.

These babies right here are a whole different ball game.

Juicy, tender, crispy on the edges and full of breadcrumbs and flavors, these are amazing.

Tossed with a simple tomato basil pasta sauce from Trader Joes, these little mini meatballs are perfect for a quick dinner.

Baking these chicken meatballs instead of frying them makes them extremely healthier.

This meal comes together in less than an hour and can be ready in a snap.

Pair the mini chicken meatballs and tomato sauce with the whole wheat spaghetti, also from Trader Joe’s, and you’re meal is set.

We consistently stock a few items from Trader Joe’s including the Tomato Basil Garlic tomato sauce and the wheat spaghetti.

We also add a few of our own little tasties to the sauce to increase flavor.

We usually add:

– minced garlic

– fresh basil leaves

– oregano

– Italian seasoning

– red wine

Top the tossed Chicken Meatballs & Spaghetti with shredded parmesan and basil then you’re ready to serve.

The meatball recipe is from Pinch of Yum and they’re so tasty, check out the recipe below.
