Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 ounces ham steak, cubed into 20 even pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 pinch cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

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.
