To make the meatballs, mix together the almond flour, coconut aminos, crushed pineapple, green onion, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl until well combined. Add the meat, stirring until all the ingredients are well incorporated, clean hands work best, being careful not to overmix.
Roll the mixture into 2-inch balls, or use a 2-inch cookie scoop -- about 25 meatballs. Keep in mind that chicken can be sticky and will not roll the way ground beef does. Use a cookie scoop if the mixture is too sticky. Set aside.
Make the Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce by mixing together the coconut aminos, pineapple juice, ⅓ cup water, honey, garlic, and ginger until well incorporated.
Place the meatballs on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour ¼ cup sauce evenly over the meatballs. Do not stir.
Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours.
While the meatballs are cooking, finish the Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce by heating the remaining coconut amino and pineapple mixture in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, stir together the arrowroot powder and 1 tablespoon water. Add to the sauce and simmer on low for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
When the meatballs are done, uncover and remove to a serving platter, discarding the cooking liquid. Toss the meatballs with the thickened sauce and serve.
Heat the oven to 425F.
