Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 medium apple (peeled and shredded)
- 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup oatmeal
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp ketchup (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded apple, and finely chopped onion.
Stir in the oatmeal, lightly beaten egg, and unsweetened applesauce until well distributed.
Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated, but do not overmix.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Pack it down gently to ensure it holds its shape.
If desired, spread the optional ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for added moisture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
