Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground chicken
½ cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 (1 ounce) package dry French onion soup mix
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ cup red wine
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups beef broth
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, onion soup mix, and garlic together in a medium bowl until the ingredients are well incorporated. Roll into sixteen 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and sugar; saute until onions are softened, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, flipping occasionally, until edges are browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Check the meatballs halfway through and flip if they are browning too much on the bottom.
  • Add red wine, salt, and pepper to the onions and stir. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in beef broth and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in flour. Cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Remove meatballs from the oven and pour onion sauce on top. Cover evenly with Gruyere cheese and return to the oven until melted, about 5 minutes.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound ground lamb
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brown the meatballs in a pan before baking them in the oven.
  • If you don't have any Gruyère cheese, you can substitute another type of hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Cheddar.
  • To make the meatballs ahead of time, brown them in a pan and then let them cool completely. Store the meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When you're ready to bake the meatballs, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.

Stuffed French onion chicken meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal.
