Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond milk, egg, sautéed onion and garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, but be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press it evenly into the loaf pan.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly on top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
