Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, French onion soup mix, egg, and minced garlic. Form the mixture into sixteen equally sized (about 1 ½-inch) meatballs. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized. (12 minutes)
04
StepWhile the onions are cooking, heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning them every so often, until nicely browned on all sides. (4 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the skillet with the meatballs to the preheated oven. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, flipping them halfway through if they are browning too quickly. (15 minutes)
06
StepPour in the red wine, salt, and pepper to the softened onions; cook over medium heat. (3 minutes) Stir in the beef broth and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; slowly stir in flour. Cook until slightly thickened. (2-3 minutes)
07
StepRemove the meatballs from the oven and evenly pour the onion sauce over them. Generously cover the meatballs with shredded Gruyère cheese. Return the skillet to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (5 minutes)
