Monday Meals: Slow-Cooker Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Seldom does a meatball recipe promise so much; healthy, delicious, easy, make-ahead and a surprise inside!

This recipe for Slow-Cooker Chicken Parmesan Meatballs from Eating Well will serve you well as a family dinner favorite or a hearty, hot hors d’oeuvres all-star. The preparation is minimal, but does include one secret step – wrapping a small mozzarella ball in the center of each meatball. Once cooked, the melted cheese center is a happy surprise, well worth the additional fat and calories. Whole wheat breadcrumbs, ground poultry and lycopene rich crushed tomatoes provide these treats with their healthy credibility.
