Low Carb Cheesy Chicken Mini Meatloaves
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground chicken | 1 pound |
| Shredded cheddar cheese, divided | 1 cup |
| Almond flour | ½ cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | ¼ cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
| Sugar-free tomato sauce | ½ cup |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon |
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a standard muffin pan with nonstick spray or grease it lightly.
Step 2: Make the Meatloaf Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, ½ cup of the cheddar cheese, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tin
Portion the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, gently pressing each portion into shape to create individual meatloaves.
Step 4: Mix the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar-free tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
Step 5: Top the Meatloaves
Spoon the tomato mixture over each mini meatloaf, spreading it across the surface. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the tops.
Step 6: Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The cheese should be melted and lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow the mini meatloaves to rest in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm and enjoy.
Serving Suggestion
Pair these cheesy chicken meatloaves with roasted vegetables, a crisp green salad, or cauliflower mash for a complete low-carb meal.
