KETO CHICKEN CORDON BLEU MEATBALLS

These ham-stuffed chicken meatballs topped with a creamy Swiss cheese sauce are delicious served over zucchini noodles or mashed cauliflower, or simply on their own! A great way to use up leftover ham. I've used diced ham, however cubed ham work better as the meatballs keep their shape better. Grate your own cheese; it melts much better than the pre-shredded variety.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground chicken
⅓ cup blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 ounces ham steak, cubed into 20 even pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 pinch cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, almond flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and egg in a bowl. Form a small portion of chicken mixture into a 1 1/2-inch ball around a cube of ham and place onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture and ham, making 20 meatballs total.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs for 3 minutes, turn, and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer meatballs onto a clean plate.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and melt butter. Whisk in chicken broth and Dijon mustard and bring to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and whisk until sauce begins to simmer. Whisk in Swiss cheese until completely melted. Return meatballs to skillet and simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with cracked black pepper and parsley. Serve immediately. Sauce will further thicken upon cooling.

MEATBALLS CORDON-BLEU

Categories     Chicken     Bake     Dinner

Yield ~50

Number Of Ingredients 11

~ 100-200 grams of prosciutto depending on how much "ham" you want around the cheese. Also consider using Black Forest Ham.
~ 100 grams of Gruyère cheese - you could also do emmental or even an old white cheddar.
~ 2 lbs of ground chicken or turkey. you could even mix in some ground pork or beef.
~ 1/2 teaspoon of allspice
~ 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
~ 300 grams of breadcrumbs, or however much you need to make the meatballs less 'wet' but not dry. Save some for the outer coating.
1 egg for binding the meat
1 egg for outer coating
~ 100 grams Parmesan cheese mixed into breadcrumbs for the coating
pepper - to taste
salt - to taste

Steps:

  • - cut the cheese into smallish cubes. - cut the prosciutto (or ham) into strips. - wrap the cheese with the ham and set aside. - mix the ground meat with the breadcrumbs, allspice, nutmeg, salt, pepper and egg. - take enough of the meat mixture to make a smallish meatball and form it into a small, thin burger patty and put into the palm of your hand. - place the ham and cheese roll into the middle of the patty. - fold up the meat around the ham and cheese trying to keep the meat a uniform thickness around the ham and cheese (this is tricky). - roll the meatball between your palms to form the ball. - preheat the oven to 400F. - when all of the meatballs have been formed then you can coat them in the breadcrumbs just like you would do chicken Parmesan. - brown the meatballs in a fry pan and place them into a baking dish. - place the baking dish into the oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your meatballs will taste. Look for fresh, organic, and free-range meat and vegetables.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your meatballs well. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder will give them plenty of flavor.
  • Handle the Meatballs Gently: Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, and then form the meatballs into balls as gently as possible.
  • Cook the Meatballs Thoroughly: Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through before serving. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of a meatball; it should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the Meatballs with Your Favorite Sauce: Meatballs can be served with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, Alfredo sauce, or a simple jus. Choose a sauce that you and your family will enjoy.
