Sweet Chicken Meatballs

Posted by melissabigler on

Hello Everyone!  Thanks for stopping by.  The little lady and I tasted these meatballs for the first time when they were being offered at Costco.  They are called Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken Meatballs from Chef Bruce Aidells.  They were so tasty they had to be added to our cart.

Let’s Get Crafty!
23 oz frozen chicken meatballs (the package from Costco was 46oz with 2 packages inside.   Theirs are really good- I want to try it with other chicken meatballs too.)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 cup pineapple, diced (Whoohoo to King Soopers having pineapples on sale!)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 can low sodium chicken broth

Everything in the IP on manual for 15 minutes.

I wanted to thicken up the sauce, so I used a colander to drain the 
juice from the meatballs and pineapple. 
Pour the juice back into the Instant Pot and turn to saute.  
Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a small amount of cold water.  
Whisk into the juice stirring constantly for just one minute or so until thickened.

After the sauce is thickened – turn the Instant Pot off and add the meatballs and pineapple back to it.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
