📝 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 Mini Meatloaves)

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup or low-carb marinara (optional glaze)
  • Optional: 2–3 tbsp almond flour if you prefer firmer texture

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven

Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease a muffin pan.

2️⃣ Mix your meatloaf base

In a large bowl, combine:

  • ground chicken
  • Parmesan
  • mozzarella
  • egg
  • garlic + onion powder
  • salt, pepper
  • Italian seasoning

Mix gently — don’t overwork it or the meatloaves will be dense.

3️⃣ Shape into mini loaves

Form 6–8 small meatloaf patties or pack the mixture into a muffin pan for perfect portions.

Sprinkle extra Italian seasoning or dried parsley on top for that restaurant finish.

4️⃣ Bake until golden

Bake 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
For crispier tops, broil for the last 2 minutes.

5️⃣ Optional glaze

Brush with sugar-free ketchup or marinara during the last 5 minutes.
This adds moisture and a savory tang—highly recommended.
