Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are a combination recipe made with the convenience of the slow cooker and the flavor of chicken parmesan in the form of bite-size, saucy, cheesy meatballs. They're made with well-seasoned ground chicken smothered in a rich tomato sauce, cooked low and slow until juicy and tender, and topped with melted mozzarella!
