Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

  • 2

    Into food processor, add 1 cup SUNCHIPS® French Onion Flavored Whole Grain Snacks; pulse until finely ground.

  • 3

    In large bowl, stir together chicken, ground SUNCHIPS®, 1/2 cup Gruyère, half the garlic, 2 tbsp parsley, chives, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil.

  • 4

    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  • 5

    Meanwhile, in large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onions, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and remaining 1/4 tsp pepper; cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes or until starting to soften. Reduce heat to medium.

  • 6

    Stir in remaining garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until onions are golden brown and caramelized. Sprinkle with flour. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in broth and mustard. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened and flavors are married.

  • 7

    Stir in meatballs; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until well coated in sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1 ½ cups Gruyère. Cook, undisturbed, for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese has melted. Garnish with remaining 2 tbsp parsley.

  • 8

    Serve with remaining SUNCHIPS® on the side for dipping.

Tips & Tricks

  • Substitute ground chicken with ground turkey if preferred.
