Ingredients
•
1 pound ground chicken
•
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
•
1 (1 2/5 ounce) package dry French onion soup mix (such as Knorr®), divided
•
1 pinch ground black pepper
•
2 ounces mini mozzarella balls
•
3/4 cup water
•
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
2
Combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, 4 tablespoons French onion soup mix, and pepper in a bowl; blend well. Cover and let mixture rest for 10 minutes.
3
Portion chicken mixture into balls using a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop. Press a mozzarella ball into each chicken ball and roll between your hands to enclose the cheese. Place stuffed chicken balls onto the baking sheet.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through, about 18 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining French onion mix, water, and cream in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened. Serve sauce over stuffed chicken balls.
