My Three Cheese Garlic Marinara Recipe just made things official. This low carb meatloaf recipe was the first time I made a meatloaf in a silicone loaf pan. It was a game changer. The meatloaf just slides right out and clean up was a cinch. There is no going back.

Making this for dinner tonight! A little secret on ground chicken - you can throw chicken breasts into a food processor or good blender (I use a ninja) and make your own ground chicken!
Debbie Guthrie says
Kendra are the meatloaf and the sauce an E or S. I am still get used to this way of life and sometimes have trouble deciding if a recipe is an E or S or even a FP.
TIA

I'm not sure what you are asking me. I don't know what these rating letters are referring to? Wish I could better answer you questions. - Kyndra
Madeleine Miles says
S is high-fat protein, E is high-carb protein, and FP is low-fat AND low-carb protein. While chicken breast is very FP, the cheese mix in the recipe will probably make it an S meal. Most low-carb recipes will be S, as this way of eating cuts almost all carbs out and lets your body use fats as fuel instead.

Made this and it was great. Meaty, cheesy, and delicious. Also easy to slice up into portions for lunch throughout the week. 10/10, would eat again.
Evelyn says
I made this tonight! I was a little nervous as I had never made a stuffed meatloaf (or really anything) for that matter, but it was DELICIOUS! The seasoning makes the chicken taste so good and the marinara is a great recipe!
Vivian says
Does this freeze well?
Mama of 3Rs says
FANTASTIC! This was so easy to make and it has the essence of chicken parm without the carbs and extra steps. It was so delicious. I highly recommend everyone try it!
Nanabella ????❤️ says
I just made this and all I can say is Y-U-M-M-M-M-Y!!!!! EVERYONE needs to make this weekly!!!
THANK YOU, Kyndra, for doing what you do, because you help a LOT of people thrive as low carbers, while the "mainstream" suffers the ill effects of the Standard American Diet... Bless you! ????????????????????????❤️
Meda says
I just made this tonight using 1 pound of ground chicken. I kept the ingredients the same except I did cut back on the salt. I love the taste and aroma of fresh garlic so kept amount the same 4 gloves. This dish was so delicious and savory and cheesey with the ricotta cheese adds to it.
Erin says
Hi I aslo was going to do 1pnd of ground chicken tonight! Glad to know you used the same amount
Of ingredients.
Did you still cook in the oven for the same amount
Of time as well?
lynne says
did you end up cooking it for less time? I am making this tonight and only have 1 pound of ground chicken as well.
Caroline says
Could you use shredded chicken I wonder? I was almost thinking I could put chicken in the crockpot in the morning and then shred it when I get home from work and then make it. Do you think that would work? I am very excited to try this recipe sounds so tasty!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Shredded chicken wouldn't stay together in loaf form. However, Im sure you could do some yummy crock pot variation using the shredded chicken
Pat says
I'm pretty sure you could do a de-constructed version of this dish with shredded chicken. Just put all of the ingredients together like a casserole and bake it in the oven for a similar amount of time/temp. I find myself doing that a lot lately due to age and physical limitations.

I was getting ready to make this last night, my 10 year old son asked what we were having, I told hi, Chicken Parmigiana Meatloaf, he got so excited about it, he hugged me and told me I was the best! He asked if he could help me make it. We had so much fun cooking together, he measured out all the ingredients, mixed it with the ground chicken, helped me make the 5 cheese marinara, (which was fabulous)! It came out great, and they were fighting about who was going to get the leftovers the next day for lunch! LOL! Thanks for the great recipes! And we made great memories cooking together! I am making the Garlic Lemon Pork Steaks tonight! I will let you know how those went! Thanks again for the wonderful recipes!
P.S. I bought your Primal Cookbook on Kindle, I am loving it!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
You have no idea how happy this comment makes me. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and share this story. There is nothing better than kid approved meals, all while making lasting memories together. So happy you enjoyed it!
Julia A. Dawkins says
Thank you!! We will be doing more dishes together! He says he wants to be a chef! That would be awesome!
