Serving: 5
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients
 

Meatballs

  • 1kg chicken mince
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup panko crumbs
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2T vegetable oil
  • 1 egg

Sauce

  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1Tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1Tbsp chicken stock powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1Tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp tarragon dried
  • Additional: 2tsp corn flour with 2Tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Combine all meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Using clean hands roll mince mix into golf ball sized meatballs. Place them gently in slow cooker, slightly apart
  • Combine all sauce ingredients (except corn flour slurry) and pour over meatballs
  • Cook on low with tea towel trick in place for 3hrs.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not stir or move meatballs until the final 30mins. When they are fully sealed and firm they can be moved. Moving them earlier could result in them breaking. Instead only flip them gently in the last half hour and that's all they need 🙂
  • Stir through the corn flour slurry and cook for a further 5mins to thicken. Toss meatballs gently through this thickened sauce to coat.

    Do you think you could cheat and use the Honey Mustard sauce in the jar ?

      I don’t see why not Donna 🙂 I can’t guarantee it’s as nice but it’s a great option on a busy day 🙂

    I made this tonight and was an absolute success. Think next time I might add a bit of chilli flakes and serve it with pasta!

    Amazing, we loved these, only used 500g chicken mince but same amount of sauce! My LO is dairy free so fantastic we have have a honey mustard alternative!

  4. I was so tired of eating the same things made from meatballs. The kids were happy but I needed a change.

    This recipe was wonderful. A lovely sweet flavour with depth, so different to the normal I needed to get away from. All ingredients were already in my cupboard.

    Served over rice but I would also serve over mash, pasta or as a side to veges.

    I’ve added it to my meal list to make again.

  5. Lovely recipe. Used the same amount of sauce for 500 g mince and it worked well. Served with mashed sweet potato and vege ?

    Tour recipes are amazing Pauline – great variety

    Thank you

    Tried this for the first time – great flavour and will definitely be repeated in this house! I added a generous handful of baby spinach at the same time as the cornflour slurry, and also mixed some minced garlic into the meatball mix before cooking. Served with mashed potato and steamed veg, but would also be great with rice or pasta

    Firstly- I have the mustards in my fridge so that was convenient.
    Secondly- Mayonnaise ? OMG. I have an addiction to it & already use it in so many things.
    So that sold me!!! I never would have imagined to use it this way.
    My husband does not eat Mayo under any circumstances so I didn’t tell him?.
    He loved this dish!!
    The only thing I did differently was to use pre-made meatballs from Aldi & added hot English mustard.
    Thank you so much for submitting this delicious recipe. Can’t wait to have it again. Would go with any meat!!

    I made this today. I only did 500 grams of mince, so hubby and I would get two nights of dinners out of this. The sauce is to die for, the balls needs some more oomph 😂 it sure what, but I’ll figure it out.
    Husband nearly licked the plate 🤣

    Made this one again. I used 500 grams of chicken mince, so I halved the spices for the balls. I browned the balls off first, husband says they taste better than way. The sauce we made the big batch exactly as per recipe. Did the cornflour slurry at the end.
    We had it with basmati rice. Enough leftovers for when I’m away next week for husband on his own.
