Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce Base: Pour half of the marinara sauce into the bottom of your slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
- Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, herbs, garlic, salt, oregano, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Incorporate the Ground Chicken: Gently fold in the ground chicken, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
- Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the marinara sauce in the slow cooker.
- Add the Remaining Sauce: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are coated.
- Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Optional Cheese Topping: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the meatballs during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Serve and Garnish: Lift meatballs from the slow cooker and serve warm with garnishes.
