Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Small Onion or ½ Medium Onion Finely Diced
  • 1 Pound Ground Chicken
  • ¾ Cup Quick Oats
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¾ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • ⅓ Cup Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ Cup Ketchup No Sugar Added
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 F and set your rack to the middle position.
  • Finely dice your onion either by hand or using a veggie chopper with the smallest dicer.
  • Into a large bowl, add in your diced onions, ground chicken, quick oats, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and parmesan cheese.
  • Use your hands to knead the meatballs until all the spices are evenly distributed and the meat mixture is well combined. Wash your hands thoroughly when finished.
  • In a separate small bowl, add in your ketchup and brown sugar and mix until everything is well combined.
  • Grab a loaf pan and some parchment paper. Use your hands to crumple up the parchment paper and then pull it apart. This will allow the parchment paper to become easier to work with. Use a non stick spray to spray down the loaf pan and then place the parchment paper on top. This will allow the parchment paper to sit in place properly. Add in your meatloaf mixture and use a rubber spatula to flatten the meat until it's in an even layer.
  • Use a basting brush to add the ketchup and brown sugar mixture in an even layer on top of the meat loaf.
  • Bake your meatloaf for 30-35 minutes and then broil for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing in.
  • Serve with your favorite starchy vegetable or complex carbohydrate (sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes) and non-starchy vegetable of choice (broccoli or green beans)!
