Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the marinara sauce and heavy cream over the meatballs.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey for the chicken. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as feta or goat cheese, for a unique flavor profile. To add a touch of freshness, garnish the finished dish with chopped fresh basil or parsley.
