  2. Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high.
  3. Add meatballs (can do a few batches) and brown on both sides.
  4. Place cooked meatballs on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

  6. Add chicken breasts on top of vegetables.
  7. Add meatballs and remaining ingredients expect pasta and spinach.
  8. Cover. Cook on Low for 7 hours
