Print Recipe

Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground chicken (~1 kg)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 32 oz sugar-free marinara (910 g)
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, almond flour, garlic, and dry seasonings with your hands until completely incorporated. Form into large balls (about 2 tablespoons per ball).
  • Pour 1.5 jars of the marinara sauce into bottom of instant pot with water, mix together.
  • Gently add the meatballs to the bottom of the pot. Once the bottom layer is completely full, carefully stack and add another layer.
  • Pour remaining marinara sauce over the top.
  • Close the lid, make sure the pressure valve is set to 'sealing' and set to high pressure for 5 minutes. After you hear the timer go off, quick release (you do this by carefully switching the tab to 'venting').
  • Open the lid and serve alone or with spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. Enjoy!
