Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground chicken
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Oatmeal
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
• 0.25 cup Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, and oatmeal. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and low-fat cottage cheese to the chicken mixture. Stir to incorporate these ingredients evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 5

Add the Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste to the mixture, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed throughout.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down firmly to ensure a dense, even shape.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until it's cooked through and the top is browned. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its moisture and shape.

Step 9

Slice and serve the meatloaf with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
