Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450g ground chicken
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs or oat flour for a healthier option
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp ketchup plus extra for topping
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated carrot, chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, olive oil, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika. Mix until well combined but not overworked.
  • Transfer the mixture into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top for a glaze.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F/75°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs if available, but dried herbs work just as well.
  • Swap breadcrumbs for oat flour or almond flour for a lower-carb option.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
