Just when you thought, there is no way Ang can come up with another meatball idea….here I come, with another meatball idea!! LOL! I often get the question, “How do you create your recipes?” For me, it happens in the most unique places. While I’m flying or driving are some of the biggest places where I have my creative moments. This particular recipe idea birthed while I was standing at gate C31 at DFW patiently waiting to board a flight to Denver that ended up leaving 7 hours later! While standing in that line, it just came to me! Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatballs. I immediately opened the notes section of my phone and got to typing all the things that were swimming around up in my noggin. Ham, Swiss, some kind of cheesy cordon bleu sauce for them to bathe in. It all came to me in 5 minutes. I will tell you these meatballs DID NOT disappoint OMG! The flavors were out of this world D to the LISH! These are a fun take on the traditional chicken cordon bleu dish and would be a really fun main course to host a dinner party with! With just a few simple ingredients, and 20 minutes, you can transport yourselves to flavor town and enjoy them too!
