Low-Calorie Slow Cooker Meatballs


Serving : 8 Prepping Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 1- 2 hours

 





INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds of ground chicken

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 ½ cups Sugar-Free BBQ sauce (I used G- huges) 

  • ¾ cup sugar-free grape jelly (I used Smuckers)



DIRECTIONS:

  • Spray the bottom of a slow cooker and set aside. In a large bowl add the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Use a fork or clean hands and mix ingredients together until well combined. 

  • In a separate bowl mix together the BBQ sauce and jelly until well combined. Set aside.

  • Use a mini ice cream scoop or spoon to scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Use wet hands to form the meatballs and to help prevent them from sticking. Place formed meatballs into the bottom of the slow cooker. Once the mixture gets too sticky, wet your hands again and continue forming the meatballs. 

  • Once you have a single layer of meatballs on the bottom of the slow cooker, pour over a little of the BBQ sauce mixture. Continue forming the meatballs and place on a second layer on top of the sauce. Once all the meatballs are formed, pour over the rest of the sauce. 

  • Enjoy :)
