Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through, about 18 minutes.

Step 5

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.
