In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Form the mixture into golf ball sized balls (I made 18 meatballs) and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.

Sounds fabulous, just curious could I salute the onion first, col it down and add to meatballs?  We have a "picky"  onion eater, if she even thinks it is not a soft cooked onion she puts her nose up...Thanks going to make this with my san marzano marinara

I have been making these for my lunch for the week and subbing egg whites for the eggs, they are SO good and everyone that comes in my office always comments that it smells SO good! Thinking of subbing panko breadcrumbs this week!

Made them for dinner and they're great, no leftovers!

Great recipe! I follow the recipe (except y breadcrumbs have Italian seasoning) and my skeptical family really liked them. Plus the meatballs freeze/defrost nicely.

It is a decent twist, but make sure you have enough breadcrumbs to offset the liquids. I suggest if you use frozen spinach that you squeeze the liquid out as much as possible and you might get away with only one egg.  Minced chicken is not as firm as beef or even pork.
