Mini Chicken Meatloaf
Description
This Mini Chicken Meatloaf recipe begins by sautéing onion, celery, and garlic in olive oil until softened, adding moisture and flavor to the ground chicken mixture. The mixture is combined gently with seasoned breadcrumbs, shredded carrot, milk, Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt to create a balanced texture and seasoning.
The meat mixture is portioned into four small loaves, topped with a blend of tomato sauce and chili sauce, and baked at 400°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The topping caramelizes slightly, adding a tangy-sweet contrast to the mild chicken meat. The mini shape promotes even cooking and makes portioning easy.
These meatloaves serve well as a main dish alongside vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grains. Their compact size makes them convenient for meal prep or casual family dinners.
