Ingredients

Scale

For the Meatballs:

1 lb ground chicken

1 egg

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup almond flour

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Onion Sauce:

1 tbsp butter

2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

½ cup chicken broth

1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)

1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, mix all meatball ingredients. Form into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.

Bake meatballs for 18–20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

While baking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook slowly, stirring often, for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden.

Stir in balsamic vinegar, broth, and thyme. Let simmer to slightly reduce.

Add baked meatballs to skillet. Sprinkle with cheese and cover until melted, about 3–5 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with more thyme or fresh parsley if desired.
