Ingredients
  

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground chicken 93%. Do not use anything leaner as the meatballs will be very dry
  • 6 oz ham steak diced very small
  • 3/4 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese cut into 1" cubes

Dijon Cream Sauce

  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1.5 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1.5 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Combine all meatball ingredients except for the Swiss cheese in a medium size bowl. Mix well
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pick up a tablespoon of the meatball mixture and put it in the palm of your hand. Flatten it slightly and then add in a cube of swiss cheese to the center. Form the meatball around it and make sure it is sealed well. Place the meatball on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients while trying to make the meatballs around the same size. You should get about 30 small meatballs or 22 bigger meatballs.
  • Bake for 25-27 minutes and remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly.
  • Make the sauce while your meatballs are baking. First add the butter to a pan on medium low heat. Once it melts, add in your flour and whisk it until fully combined. Cook it for a minute and then slowly add in your milk. Mix well and then turn off the heat, Add in your dijon and parmesan cheese. Mix well until sauce starts to thicken. If your sauce becomes too thick, add a tiny bit of milk and mix it in.
