- In the meantime, combine the chicken mince, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into even sized meatballs.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the meatballs for 10 minutes, turning occasionally so all sides are golden and the meatballs are cooked through. Remove from the heat.
- In the same pan, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute to golden.
- Add the broccoli and zucchini to the pan, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes to soften.
- Next, add the spinach to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes to wilt.
- Plate up the mashed sweet potato, sautéed greens and meatballs.
