Meatballs

  1. In a non-stick frying pan, melt the butter. Add the onion and brown until translucent, then set aside.

  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Make chicken meatballs about 3 cm in diameter.
  7. Stuff each one with a cheese cube.

  9. Remove from the oven.

Sauce
