Hi everyone! Meatballs are a favorite food for my husband, myself and even our toddler! I also really love chicken cordon bleu. So, I figured, why not combine two of my favorites? These meatballs are super flavorful, have all of the key components of both chicken cordon bleu and a traditional meatball, and are coated in a delicious dijon butter sauce. They pair so incredibly easy with so many things too, such as pasta, rice, salad, etc. So now that I’ve told you all about them, let’s get started!
