Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Unsalted tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan lightly with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed vegetables, rolled oats, beaten egg, unsalted tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix everything together thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined. Try not to overmix to maintain a good meatloaf texture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down gently to even out the top.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute and makes slicing easier.
Slice and serve the meatloaf warm, accompanied by your favorite low-sodium side dishes.
