  • For the cordon bleu meatballs: In a bowl, mix ground chicken and salt and pepper to taste. Scoop out a tablespoon of meat mixture and hold it in your hand. Press a cube of ham and a bit of shredded Oaxaca cheese into the middle, shape into one-inch meatballs and reserve.
  • For the breading: Roll chicken meatballs in eggs, then breadcrumbs; set aside.
  • Heat a pot over medium heat. Add oil to the pot. Once hot, add chicken meatballs and fry until cooked through. Drain on paper towels and reserve.
  • For the tomato sauce: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil to the skillet; once hot, add onion, tomato, chipotle and cook through. Pour in chicken broth and cook until reduced and thickened. Transfer sauce, cream cheese, and sour cream to a blender. Blend to a silky sauce.
  • Spoon sauce onto a platter, place cordon bleu meatballs on sauce, and garnish with oregano.
