Delicious Single Serving Mini Chicken Meatloaves with Tomato and Rosemary Sauce, no need to worry about sharing with these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love making mini meatloaves because each little meatloaf is a perfect size for one serving. Which means you can plate it just as it is, or slice and serve over your choice of sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I make meatloaf, I can't help but want it with mashed potatoes and sweetcorn. I blame all the 80s and 90s movies I watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be fair, it is a perfect combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are just to make healthier choices, it can be hard to get those mashed potatoes right, without missing the butter and cream. However, these Best Ever Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, feel smooth, creamy and buttery. Once you make them following my method, it will be your go-to recipe for fat free mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra Lean Ground Chicken or Turkey has a tendency to feel dry and is so easy to overcook. So I like to add some grated carrot into the mixture when combining everything for these Mini Chicken Meatloaves. The great thing about that is the carrot adds some speed to your plate and helps to keep the meatloaves from being too dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As these are small Mini Chicken Meatloaves, they don't take as long to cook as a large meatloaf would take. However, if you prefer, you can make this into one meatloaf, but I recommend increasing the baking time to about 50 mins to ensure it is cooked through. Start checking the 40-minute mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also recommend letting this rest for about 10 mins, because it allows the meatloaf to take back in some of the juices it releases keeping it nice and moist. I know you have made this and are keen to eat dinner, but trust me those few minutes of resting, really make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also want to try and cut corners to make these by replacing the sugar with sweetener for the sauce. It's not something I recommend. The sauce needs the sugar and, so is it really worth trying to cut corners by replacing it, just for the sake of points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To shape the mini meatloaves, you can either make them rustic by hand, but they are better cooked in a mini meatloaf tray<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking in a tray like this will keep the juices in the pan, so if you are not using one of these, I recommend making little pockets with foil, to put the mini chicken meatloaves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
