  7. Heat your pan back to medium-high heat and add about 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  8. Add meatballs and sear about 1 minute, then flip and sear the other sides. Make sure they become nice and brown.
  9. Add chicken broth and cover.
  10. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer about 15-20 more minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked through.
  11. Serve!
