  3. Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized balls and place on the baking tray, ensuring even spacing.
  4. Bake the chicken bombs for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
  5. In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour to create a roux, then gradually add milk while whisking until smooth and thickened.
  6. Add Parmesan and mozzarella to the sauce, along with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, stirring until the cheese melts completely.
  7. Transfer baked chicken bombs to a casserole dish, pour creamy sauce over, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  8. Serve the chicken bombs over mashed potatoes and garnish with herbs and olive oil or butter.
