Start by finely dicing the onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Place the Amylu chicken meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, occasionally stirring, until they are slightly browned.
Pour in the chicken broth and tomato sauce into the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, ensuring the meatballs are fully coated in the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cover the skillet. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce slightly, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Once cooked, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the meatballs, allowing it to melt into the sauce.
Lastly, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish with a side of vegetables or whole grain pasta for a complete meal.
