2. Preheat oven to 375 and grease a muffin baking pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, diced yellow onion, pressed garlic, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, fresh grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix very well, until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

11. Stir in parsley and take off heat.
12. Top each mini meatloaf with creamy sauce as you serve it.

Notes

Gluten Free note: To make this dish gluten free, you can use 2 slices of gluten free bread instead of bread crumbs in the actual meatloaves. For the sauce, I just eliminate the flour all together but it you do wish to thicken the sauce, use gluten free flour or 1/2 Tbsp corn starch (mix corn starch with a splash of cold water before adding to hot heavy cream).
