Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- 2. In a bowl, combine the chicken, bread crumbs, garlic powder, egg, and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Coat your hands with oil, and roll the meat into tablespoon-size balls (will make 15-16 meatballs).
- 2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until seared all over about 5-8 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter and allow the butter to brown around the meatballs, about 2 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet.
- 3. To the skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes or until golden. Add 1 tablespoons butter, the shallots, garlic, thyme, and season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Cook 4-5 minutes, until fragrant. Add the balsamic vinegar. Cook another 2-3 minutes, until the mushrooms have caramelized. Spoon half the mushrooms out of the skillet and onto the plate with the meatballs
- 4. Pour in the wine and broth. Cook 5 minutes until reduced slightly, then pour in the cream. Add the meatballs and simmer 10 minutes, until cooked through.
- 5. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, until very dry. Switch the oven to broil. Spoon the mushrooms over the meatballs, then place the bread on/around the meatballs. Top evenly with cheese. Broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- 6. To make the garlic butter. In a small skillet, melt the butter with the garlic and herbs until the garlic turns golden, about 3 minutes. Spoon the garlic butter over the French bread. Serve straight from the skillet. YUM!
