This low fat mini chicken meatloaf recipe is all about portion control. It's a great alternative to the usual ground beef recipe and, best of all, it cooks in about half the time of regular meatloaf.

Low-Fat Mini Chicken Meatloaf Ingredients

The Ingredients you will need are:
  • 1 pound extra-lean ground chicken

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Cooking the Low-Fat Chicken Meatloaf

Preparation: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 6 pan muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, use a fork to combine ground chicken with onion, mushrooms, red peppers, parsley and breadcrumbs. Add soy sauce, ketchup and egg, and mix well.
