Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground chicken
• 0.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 0.25 cups ketchup, for glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond milk, egg, sautéed onion and garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, but be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 5

Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press it evenly into the loaf pan.

Step 6

Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly on top of the meatloaf as a glaze.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
