Equipment
- Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup parmesan grated
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1/2 cup white onion diced
- 1 cup green bell pepper diced
- 24 oz tomato sauce
- 12 oz chickpea spaghetti
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg white, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Use your hands to combine then roll into 1 1/2 inch balls until you get 16 to 18 meatballs. The batter will be sticky. Washing your hands every couple ball roll will help with this.
- Set an 8-quart Instant Pot to saute. Add the extra virgin olive oil then place 1/3 of the meatballs in the pot to cook until brown about 5-7 minutes. Repeat until all meatballs are cooked. Remove all the meatballs from the pot and set aside on a plate.
- Add the minced garlic, bell pepper, onion, tomato sauce, basil oregano, salt and pepper to the pot scraping the bottom for browned pieces. Add the chickpea spaghetti and broth and stir. Return the meatballs to the Instant Pot.
- Set the pressure cooker to steam 8 minutes (note it will take time for the pot to pressurize) and adjust the valve to sealing.
- Manually release the pressure and remove the cover. Serve and enjoy!
