Chicken & Veggie Meatloaf Muffins

June 20, 2013 by Angela LeMoine 8 Comments

Chicken & Veggie Meatloaf Muffins

Somedays its not as easy to get in all the veggies that you should be getting. These meatloaf muffins are full of carrots, red bell pepper, parsley and garbanzo bean flour. The great thing about them is that you can use whatever it is you have on hand. My fridge is currently on empty so I used whatever I had. These would be great with zucchini & squash, broccoli and maybe a little cheddar, peppers & onions…  With all the veggies in here, they are super moist & have the slightest hint of sweetness from the carrots.   I topped the meatloaf with a simple tomato sauce packed with sautéed zucchini- yup, more veggies!!! Oh and to my joy, my boys devoured them (though they wanted ketchup instead on the sauce which I’m fine with)!!!!

Chicken & Veggie Meatloaf Muffins

makes 6
1 lb ground chicken
10-12 baby carrots or 3 large carrots
1/2 red bell pepper
4 cloves garlic
handful of fresh parsley
1 egg
1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour (baking aisle at the grocery store)

salt and pepper

for the sauce:
1- 28 oz can tomato puree
1 zucchini, diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper

To make the sauce… Into a pot add a small drizzle of olive oil. Add in the oregano, garlic and zucchini and cook until softened and lightly golden. Add in the tomato puree, season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an hour or two.

Now for the meatloaf muffins… Pop the carrots, bell pepper, garlic and parsley into a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Place into a bowl.

Add the ground chicken, egg, garbanzo bean flour, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix until just combined.

Spray a muffin pan lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Scoop the meatloaf mixture into the pan. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes.

    These look delicious! I don’t normally buy ground chicken, how do you think ground beef would work as a substitute?

    I’m also glad to see I’m not the only person who makes meatloaf muffins. They’re much easier than a whole loaf and everyone gets some crust!

      Hi!!! You can definitely sub out for beef… We’ve cut out beef a bit just to reduce fat and calories 🙂 I love the meatloaf muffins especially for the crust reason!!!! Enjoy!!!!

      I thought I’d follow up with you since I made this tonight. I did end up using ground chicken…I ground two chicken breasts up myself. I used a zucchini, a carrot, and half an onion for my veggies. The meatloaf was so moist thanks to the veggies and had great flavor!

      My husband and I were talking about different flavors we could add to the mixture next time. So far our choices are ranch (using dry ranch dressing) and a southwest flavor.

      Definitely a home run recipe!

    Never used Garbanzo bean flour, can I use regular flour instead? What’s the difference?

      It’s more a health thing. If you sub I would sub bread crumb not flour. The garbanzo bean flour adds more nutrition.
