- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp (45 ml) fresh minced parsley
- 3 oz (85 g) fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- Optional : extra fresh grated Parmesan cheese to top
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) all purpose flour*
- 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) s heavy whipping cream
- 3 oz (85 g) fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) minced fresh parsley
- Salt
Instructions
- Meatloaves:
- Set your oven to 375°F and lightly coat a muffin pan with oil or spray.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the ground chicken with the chopped yellow onion, crushed garlic, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper until they are well mixed.
- Use a scooper to portion out the chicken mixture evenly, forming them into balls, and gently press each into a muffin tin slot. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top.
- Place in the oven and cook for 22-25 minutes, or until the juices are clear and the internal temperature hits 165°F.
- For the sauce, warm up a saucepan on medium heat and add oil with crushed garlic. Cook the garlic in the oil until you can smell its aroma, then stir in the flour until combined.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking steadily until the mixture is smooth and warmed through.
- When the cream mixture is hot but not boiling, mix in the grated Parmesan and salt, continuing to stir until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Add in the parsley, then remove from heat.
- Drizzle the creamy sauce over each small meatloaf when serving.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat bread crumbs or whole grain bread for added fiber.
- Try adding crushed red pepper flakes or paprika to the chicken mixture for extra flavor.
- Finely chop the parsley to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the meatloaves.
