Basic weeknight dinner is sometimes the best type of dinner. These mini chicken meatloaves get a ton of flavor from the addition of Italian sausage and their tenderness comes from the grated onion. 

I love a simple weeknight dinner that requires simple ingredients and little prep time. These mini chicken meatloaves are exactly that!

Made with ground chicken and Italian sausage, and topped with a simple ketchup glaze. They are tender, juicy, and make one hearty meal when served over red skin mashed potatoes with a side of Brussels sprouts Caesar salad, or easy oven roasted broccoli.

Ingredients

  • ground chicken
  • Italian mild sausage
  • white onion
  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • egg
  • ketchup
  • soy sauce

Form the mixture into 10 small football-shaped loaves. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 425 F oven for 17-22 minutes.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and soy sauce. Brush over cooked meatloaves and broil for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
