French Onion Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1lbs ground chicken

• 1/2 cup shredded swiss

• 1/4 cup bread crumbs

• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

• 1 large egg

• 5 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon salt

• frssh ground pepper

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 4 large onions, sliced

• 5 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme

• salt

• pepper

• 1.5 cups shredded Gouda or Gruyere (you may also use swiss since thats in the meatballs)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I used aluminum foil, I do not recommend doing so, lessen learned, use parchment.) and rub 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Make the meatballs in a large bowl: chicken, swiss, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Form into balls, I got 15,a nd place them on the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Over a large skillet heat butter and add onions. Cook down for about 25 minutes, stirring oftem. Add in the garlic and cook for a minute. Add broth, thyme salt and pepper. Mix and bring to a boil. Reduce and let simmer until slightly thick, about 10 minutes. If it does not thicken, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to some broth and add to the mixture.

Add in meatballs, sprinkle cheese. Spoon some mixture on the meatballs if needed. Add a lid and heat over the stove to melt the cheese or plavce it in the oven with no lid and allow the cheese to melt.

Serve warm and with a side of your choice.
