Instant Pot: Honey BBQ Meatballs

honey bbq meatballsThese honey bbq chicken meatballs are tender, gluten-free and super easy to make!

NUTRITION

Per 5oz meatball, there are 125 calories, 6.5g fat, 9g carb and 8g protein. I usually have 4 per serving but you can literally customize to your own dietary/macro needs. Because of the almond meal, these are gluten-free! If you are looking for a lower carb meatball, try my buffalo chicken meatballs by clicking here! Buffalo sauce has a way lower carb content than bbq and honey however these aren’t outrageous, I just like to give you options!

WHERE TO BUY

I buy the Almond meal (pictured below) at Trader Joe’s! I wasn’t sure where to find it but I asked and it was right next to all of the nuts. I buy my calorie and fat free Walden Farms Blue Cheese Dressing at Sprouts or on Amazon (by clicking here) and most recently I saw it at Walmart!

SERVE WITH

I served these meatballs with white rice the first time and cauliflower rice the second (click here for that recipe). Both times were delicious! I also added a side of baby carrot and celery sticks for more health.

SAUTEING IN THE INSTANT POT

I browned the meatballs on the stove top however you can use the Instant Pot if you don’t want to dirty another pan. I have had issues after sauteing directly in the IP because if you don’t clean out the bottom of the pan completely before switching to pressure cooking the burnt bits cause the machine to malfunction. I rather not even go down that route.

OVEN OR CROCK-POT

If you don’t have an instant pot,  follow steps 1-6 below and instead of putting them into the IP, put into a baking dish and bake these in the oven on 400 for 15 minutes. Alternatively you could also cook in the crock-pot. Simply follow steps 1-6 and place in the crock-pot on low for 4 hours.
