Stuffed French Onion Chicken Meatballs image

This is such an easy weeknight meal. It can be made in 30 minutes and is especially delicious served with mashed potatoes. Make sure to use fresh mozzarella as regular mozzarella will not have the same melting properties.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound ground chicken
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 (1.4 ounce) package dry French onion soup mix (such as Knorr®), divided
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 ounces mini mozzarella balls
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, 4 tablespoons French onion soup mix, and pepper in a bowl; blend well. Cover and let mixture rest for 10 minutes.
  • Portion chicken mixture into balls using a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop. Press a mozzarella ball into each chicken ball and roll between your hands to enclose the cheese. Place stuffed chicken balls onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through, about 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining French onion mix, water, and cream in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened. Serve sauce over stuffed chicken balls.

These meatballs are a great make-ahead meal. I usually make a double batch and freeze half of them for later. They're also great for potlucks and parties.

I've made these meatballs several times and they're always a hit. They're so moist and flavorful, and the onion filling is the perfect touch. I usually serve them with a side of roasted vegetables, and it's a delicious meal.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They're also a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I usually sneak some chopped carrots and celery into the onion filling, and they never even notice.
