In a bowl, mix bread, onion, garlic, egg, and spices.

Add ground chicken and parsley. Mix gently until just combined.

Roll into 1-inch balls and brown in a skillet with olive oil until golden. Set aside.

In the same pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux.

Slowly add chicken broth, whisking constantly.

Stir in cream, mustard, soy sauce, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Simmer until thickened and velvety.

Return meatballs to the pan and simmer in the gravy for 10–15 minutes until cooked through.

Garnish with parsley and serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or even rice.
