Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Meatballs:
    • 1 pound ground chicken
    • 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the Herb Cream Sauce:
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup chicken broth
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3: Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the meatballs on all sides until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5: Transfer the seared meatballs to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6: While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce. In the same skillet, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7: Add the baked meatballs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor.
