Instructions
- Meatloaves:
- Set your oven to 375°F and apply a light coating of grease to a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the ground chicken, chopped yellow onion, pressed garlic cloves, crumbled bread, egg, minced parsley, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all elements are well mixed.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion out equal amounts of the chicken blend. Form these into balls and gently press them into each muffin slot. Sprinkle additional Parmesan on top if desired.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the juices are clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- For the sauce, warm up a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in olive oil and add pressed garlic, cooking until it releases its aroma, then whisk in the flour until combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
- Once the cream mixture is hot but not boiling, incorporate the grated Parmesan and salt by whisking until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in the minced parsley and remove from the heat.
- Serve each mini meatloaf topped with the creamy sauce.
Notes
