Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 27 minutes
Total Time 37 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs ground chicken
  • ¾ finely cut mushrooms
  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese (you can also use nutritional yeast but has to be dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup marinara sauce. (extra for garnish)
  • 12 cups finely cut fresh basil leaves (leave extra for garnish)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano seasoning
  • 1 garlic clove, minced like a paste
  • 1 ½ cups grated dairy-free mozzarella cheese, and save extra for the top of the meatloaf

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Next, grease your mini loaf pans or one big glass container where you will shape your mini loaves, whichever you prefer.
  2. In a big container, add your ground chicken, chopped mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, and freshly cut basil, and mix well.
  3. Continue by adding the Italian seasoning, oregano, and garlic, and keep blending all the ingredients. Finally, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and continue mixing until all ingredients have come together.
  4. Transfer and press the meatloaf mixture into our greased loaf tins and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 160°F.
  5. Next, remove our mini meatloaves from the oven and top them with the rest of our shredded cheese, and put them back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted. This shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes.

Notes

Tip: When ready to serve, top with the leftover marinara sauce and use the fresh basil leaves as garnish.

You will love every single bite because, unlike some other recipes, it’s not just ketchup on top of the meat.

On the contrary, this meal has savory mushrooms and cheese which add a remarkable depth of flavor.

Are you ready for another twist? This classic meal makes for great leftovers the next day…or days. All you need to do is store our keto chicken parmesan mini meatloaf in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

And it can be reheated in an ovenproof container using parchment paper or you can also use a baking sheet at 350 F for about 5 minutes to 7 minutes.

Finally, this meatloaf recipe requires no different cooking steps than any other meatloaf recipe and, as you can see, the ingredients aren’t much different either.

This recipe can be prepared ahead of time for any busy moms trying to stay fit.

When the mix is prepared, store it in the fridge and an hour before dinner you can pop it in the oven until ready to serve. 

Though the preparation is quite simple, its culinary  impact is nothing short of spectacular for Sunday dinner. So get ready to be asked for seconds by everyone.

Good Luck making it!
