Chicken Meatballs With Spinach and Roasted Garlic image

I was just looking for something different and this is what I came up with. The higher cooking temp helps to keep the chicken moist. You can keep these on warm in a crock pot for a party by adding enough chicken broth to cover the bottom of the crock.
