Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs
Meatballs anyone? I am a fan of all kinds of meatballs, even the meatless kind! I try my best to switch up ideas for different meal preps and sometimes not using chicken but with it being 0 points, it is hard to say no!
My husband is allergic to poultry so I tend to eat a lot of eggs for breakfast and chicken for lunch so that when dinner rolls around I am not eating either.
I love teriyaki everything, especially at a teriyaki restaurant but it is so high in sugar and points that I try to make it just as good at home. I definitely succeeded with this one!!!
Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs
I love all kinds of meatballs but CHICKEN meatballs are my favorite! I could eat teriyaki on everything, probably straight from the spoon so I thought I'd make up some delicious low calorie and low point teriyaki chicken meatballs!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
In the photos, it looks like you tossed the meatballs in some of the teriyaki sauce. At what step do I do that?
Is the crushed pineapple in the teriyaki sauce?
Thank you
I mixed some of the sauce with my meatballs then put some in the condiment containers. You can also add a little water to thin the sauce to make more without the points/calories. I only added the crushed pineapple in my bowl, not the sauce. Hope you enjoy!
