Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the coconut oil and sauté the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, cooked vegetables, egg, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the meatloaf dense.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Shape the chicken mixture into a loaf on the parchment paper or press it into the loaf pan.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Paleo Chicken Meatloaf with your favorite Paleo side dishes.
