Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatballs

Ingredients

Meatballs

• 2
  
  pounds ground chicken
  
• 6
  
  ounces grated Swiss cheese
  
• 6
  
  ounces ham, diced, any kind you like
  
• 1
  
  egg
  
• 2/3
  
  cup breadcrumbs
  
• 1
  
  teaspoon EACH onion powder, garlic powder, salt
  

Mustard Sour Cream

• 1/2
  
  cup mustard
  
• 3
  
  tablespoons mustard, the grainiest/fanciest you have
  
• 1/4
  
  teaspoon salt
  

Directions

1. For the meatballs, preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a baking sheet with a baking rack inside for cooking.

   Add the ham, egg, breadcrumbs, and spices to a food processor. Blend together to form a paste, the ham should be ground similar to the chicken.

2. Add the ham mixture to a large bowl with the chicken and cheese. Mix with your hands to distribute the ham into the chicken, then form into 35-40 meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on the baking rack inside the baking sheet.

   Bake the meatballs for 22-25 minutes at 400F.

3. While the meatballs are baking, combine the ingredients for the mustard sauce in a bowl. Taste, and add more salt or mustard to your preference.
4. Remove the meatballs from the oven and let cool for a minute or two, then serve with the sauce for dipping.

   Enjoy!

5. Note:

   These can be made in advance, baked, then kept in the fridge for a few days. Bake again at 300F until the cheese is gooey, and serve with the dipping sauce.
