How do you make meatballs even better? By smothering them in a gorgeous cheese sauce! I think you and these Cheesy Chicken Meatballs are going to be very good friends.
1cupfreshly grated cheesecheddar, Monterey Jack or Gruyere are my favorites
1tspmustard powderoptional
Salt and pepper
Freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
Place all Meatballs ingredients except oil in a bowl, and mix well with your hands.
Measure out heaped tablespoons and roll into balls.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the meatballs and cook, browning all over, for 5 minutes. Remove meatballs into a bowl, then repeat with remaining batch.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add flour and mix to combine. Slowly add the milk, whisking as you go, until lump free. Then whisk in chicken broth. Whisk constantly as the liquid comes to heat, then whisk constantly once you start seeing steam.
Once the sauce thickens, add cheese and stir until it melts. Then add mustard powder, salt and pepper to taste.
Return meatballs into the sauce, rolling them around to coat and warm through.
