As someone who's always on the go, I love finding recipes that are both delicious and easy to prepare. These low carb cheesy chicken mini meatloaves are a lifesaver for busy weeknights. Inspired by my love for comfort food, this dish combines the savory goodness of meatloaf with a cheesy twist, all while keeping it low carb. Perfect for meal prep or a quick family dinner, these mini meatloaves are sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
These mini meatloaves pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts. If you're looking to keep it low carb, cauliflower mash is a fantastic side that complements the cheesy, savory flavors of the meatloaves. For a bit of extra zest, consider serving with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, pressing down gently to form mini meatloaves.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce together. Spoon the sauce over each mini meatloaf.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of each meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaves are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. If you prefer turkey, feel free to substitute ground turkey for the chicken. You can also experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. To make this dish even more nutritious, consider adding finely chopped spinach or kale to the meat mixture.
