Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs ground chicken
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 large garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to blend evenly.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Add the eggs and olive oil (or melted butter) to the dry mixture. Mix until you have a thick, even paste.
Add the ground chicken to the bowl. Gently mix with clean hands or a sturdy spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press down gently to fill corners and smooth the top. (If using a baking sheet, shape into a loaf about 2 inches high.)
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top for a melty, golden crust (optional). For extra Parmesan crust, brush the top with a little more olive oil and dust with extra Parmesan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Tent with foil after 30 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice thickly, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite low-carb sides or a simple salad.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken mixture to keep the meatloaf tender. Let the loaf rest before slicing for clean cuts. If the mixture feels too wet, add a tablespoon of almond flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk or chicken broth. For extra crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Can substitute ground turkey or use coconut flour for nut-free version.
