Mini Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves with Creamy Sauce

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground chicken

1/2 yellow onion, diced

8-10 garlic cloves, pressed

3/4 cup bread crumbs or 2 slices of dense bread, crumbled

1 egg

3 Tbsp fresh minced parsley

3 oz fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Salt to taste

Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

2 Tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, pressed

1 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

3 oz fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Additional fresh grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced onion, pressed garlic, bread crumbs (or crumbled bread), egg, minced parsley, 3 oz of grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and fresh cracked black pepper.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined. Shape the mixture into individual mini meatloaves and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaves are cooked through and golden brown.

While the meatloaves are baking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Add the pressed garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in the heavy whipping cream, ensuring there are no lumps.

Add the 3 oz of grated Parmesan cheese and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the meatloaves are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle the garlic Parmesan sauce over each meatloaf.

For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle additional fresh grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Serve the meatloaves hot, with your favorite sides.
