Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Cream Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in size.
Cooking
  1. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  2. While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking to combine, then add the heavy cream. Keep whisking until the sauce thickens and bubbles, around 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Once the meatballs are done baking, toss them in the cream sauce until they’re fully coated. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

These meatballs freeze beautifully! Just make a double batch and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When you're ready, simply reheat in the sauce. Don't worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic!
