Ingredients:

32 oz chicken thighs
910g
1 cup pasta sauce
260g
5 garlic cloves
16g
4 tbsp fresh parsley
16g
2 tsp dried oregano
2g
2 tsp onion powder
4.80g
1.50 tsp salt
9g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
1 cup ricotta cheese
120g
1 cup mozzarella cheese
110g
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
80g
2 tsp chives
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Mince the chicken thighs finely or use a food processor to grind them to your desired consistency.
- Transfer the minced chicken to a large mixing bowl.
3. Season the Chicken:
- Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chicken. Mix thoroughly to ensure all seasonings are well incorporated.
4. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped chives. Mix until everything is well combined.
5. Assemble the Meatloaf:
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Divide the chicken mixture in half. Take the first half and press it into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan, creating an even layer.
- Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the layer of chicken in the pan.
- Take the remaining chicken mixture and cover the cheese layer, pressing firmly to seal the edges and create a cohesive loaf.
6. Add the Sauce:
- Pour the pasta sauce over the top of the assembled meatloaf, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake:
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Rest and Serve:
- Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your delicious low carb stuffed chicken meatloaf!

Tips:

- Make sure to finely mince the garlic to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the meatloaf.

- To ensure the meatloaf holds together well, press the chicken mixture firmly when forming the loaf.

- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing to help it maintain its shape.

- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add a handful of spinach to the stuffing for extra nutrients.

In conclusion, this low carb stuffed chicken meatloaf is not only easy to prepare but also packed with flavors and nutrients. The combination of chicken, cheese, and herbs creates a mouthwatering experience that will leave everyone asking for seconds. Enjoy this guilt-free dish as part of your low carb diet or just as a delicious meal.
