Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish.

Pour chicken broth over the meatballs and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
