1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

3. Bake: Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Make the Butter Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken broth, stirring occasionally, and let the sauce simmer.
5. Combine: Add the baked meatballs to the skillet and let them simmer in the rich butter sauce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top and serve warm.
