Ingredients

  • FOR THE MEATBALLS
  • 1.5 lbs fat free ground chicken *weighed raw
  • 3 Tbsp bread crumbs
  • 1.5 Tbsp parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • Dash of salt & pepper
  • FOR THE STEW
  • 1- 28 oz can diced tomatoes *I used the one with herb & spices
  • 1- 5.5 oz can tomato paste
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups baby carrots *or diced
  • 3 cups diced potatoes
  • 2 cups diced onion *I used red onion
  • 1 55 g package onion soup mix *see picture
  • Dash of salt & pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix together the ground chicken, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and seasonings. Roll into small meatballs, I got 36 in total.
  • Lightly brown the meatballs in a large frying pan over medium heat using a little cooking spray in the pan, I only had mine in for about 5 min, just enough to cook around the edges.
  • Place the meatballs in the bottom of the crockpot, I like to give it a quick spray with some cooking spray.
  • Add the can of diced tomatoes then add the potatoes, carrots and onions.
  • In a measuring cup mix the tomato paste with the beef broth and onion soup mix, this will ensure it all gets mixed well, pour mixture on top of all the veggies, add in the thyme and salt/pepper.
  • Cook on high for 6 hours or untill carrots and potatoes are soft.
  • Makes 12- 1 cup servings. This stew will freeze well.
