Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or almond flour (gluten-free)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 beaten egg
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the meatballs on all sides until golden brown (2-3 minutes per side).
Transfer the meatballs to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In the same skillet, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens.
Add the baked meatballs to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.

Serve with pasta, rice, or vegetables. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for 2-3 months.
