Swedish Chicken Meatballs are perfectly flavored baked chicken meatballs smothered in a savory creamy sour cream sauce and served over noodles. Perfect comfort food!
Start with your chicken meatballs. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking pan with non-stick spray. Once done, add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, combine well. Using a spoon or just eyeballing it, roll about 20 meatballs and place on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
While your meatballs are baking, make your sauce. To a large saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat and once melted, whisk in flour. Continue to cook flour while whisking it for the next minute before pouring in beef stock. Whisk to remove any flour lumps. Add in seasonings, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, sour cream and bring gravy sauce to a low boil before reducing heat to low to simmer.
Once your sauce is simmering, set a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook your noodles according to the packaging instructions.
When your chicken meatballs are cooked, move them from the baking pan right into the gravy sauce and let simmer for about five minutes. Serve your meatballs over you noodles and garnish with a bit of fresh parsley.
Notes
PRO TIPS FOR MAKING SWEDISH MEATBALLS
Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb that is a bit more course than regular breadcrumbs and can be found in the breadcrumb section of most grocery stores.
Use a kitchen scooper to measure out identical sized chicken meatballs, no guess work needed!
If you don't have any fresh parsley on hand for your meatballs, substituting with dried is perfectly fine.
You can also make these meatballs out of beef, turkey or an equal combination of chicken and pork.
I usually find myself adding extra pepper to my sauce at the end. It's personal preference so salt and pepper your gravy to your liking.
Adding Parmesan cheese might sound odd in this recipe but it adds a great 'bite' to the gravy and helps it from becoming too one dimensional.
Serve these Swedish Chicken Meatballs over noodles, mashed potatoes, zoodles or rice.
This is a completely decadent comfort food dish.. enjoy!
