Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced ham, and a beaten egg.
Step 3
Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together until it’s well blended and inviting.

Next, gradually sprinkle in the bread crumbs, mixing until the mixture is less sticky and can easily be shaped into balls.
Step 5
Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

Now, take a generous portion of the chicken mixture and wrap it around a cube of Swiss cheese, forming a delightful 2-inch ball.

Once they’re perfectly golden, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil, then transfer them to a baking dish.
