- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Step 2: Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Ground chicken
- Parmesan cheese
- Almond flour
- Egg
- Garlic
- Onion
- Parsley
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Black pepper
Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Step 3: Shape the Meatloaves
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into small oval meatloaves.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet with space between each piece.
Step 4: Add Optional Topping
In a small bowl, mix:
- Parmesan cheese
- Melted butter
- Garlic powder
Brush this mixture over the top of each meatloaf for extra flavor and a golden crust.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
The tops should be lightly golden and the meatloaves fully cooked through.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
