Ingredients:
FOR THE MEATBALLS:
1 large Egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
½ cup shredded Gruyere
¼ cup bread crumbs
1 pound ground chicken
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for the baking sheet
Freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE SAUCE:
2 large onions, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cup shredded Gruyere
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat to 218 degrees C or 425 degrees F.
Line with foil and apply cooking spray to a large baking sheet.
Add Gruyere, ground chicken, garlic, egg, salt, parsley, and pepper into a large mixing bowl. Use your clean hands to combine everything. Make 16 meatballs out of the meat mixture.
Put the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet inside the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
Add butter and allow it to melt.
Add the onions into the hot skillet, then cook for about 25 minutes or until caramelized. Make sure to stir from time to time to prevent the onions from burning.
Add the garlic, then sauté for a minute or until aromatic.
Add thyme, salt, broth, and pepper. Stir until well blended. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to get the browned bits. Allow the mixture to boil.
Turn the heat down to low, then simmer everything for about 10 minutes or until thick.
Add the meatballs into the skillet, then toss until well-coated with the delicious sauce.
Sprinkle Gruyere on top of the meatballs.
Cover the skillet with the lid, then cook the meatballs for another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted completely.
Sprinkle freshly chopped thyme on top to garnish.
Serve and enjoy!
