Slow Cooker Chicken Meatballs with Tomato Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Chicken Meatballs with Tomato Sauce.

1. Step 1

   In a slow cooker, whisk together the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and ground black pepper. Set the heat to High to prepare the sauce.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, olive oil, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined.

3. Step 3

   Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and carefully place them into the sauce in the slow cooker. Use a spoon to cover the meatballs with the sauce, but avoid stirring them.

4. Step 4

   Cover the slow cooker with its lid and drape a thick kitchen towel over it. Cook on High for 2 1/2 hours, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
