Recipe Summary Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatballs

These ham-stuffed chicken meatballs topped with a creamy Swiss cheese sauce are delicious served over zucchini noodles or mashed cauliflower, or simply on their own! A great way to use up leftover ham. I've used diced ham, however cubed ham work better as the meatballs keep their shape better. Grate your own cheese; it melts much better than the pre-shredded variety.

Ingredients | Chicken Cordon Bleu With Dijon Cream Sauce

1 pound ground chicken

⅓ cup blanched almond flour

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

1 egg, lightly beaten

6 ounces ham steak, cubed into 20 even pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

¾ cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 pinch cracked black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (Optional)

Directions

Combine chicken, almond flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and egg in a bowl. Form a small portion of chicken mixture into a 1 1/2-inch ball around a cube of ham and place onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture and ham, making 20 meatballs total.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs for 3 minutes, turn, and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer meatballs onto a clean plate.

Return skillet to medium heat and melt butter. Whisk in chicken broth and Dijon mustard and bring to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and whisk until sauce begins to simmer. Whisk in Swiss cheese until completely melted. Return meatballs to skillet and simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with cracked black pepper and parsley. Serve immediately. Sauce will further thicken upon cooling.

You can buy pre-cubed ham in 8 ounce packages to save time.
