How to Make Mini Chicken Pizza Meatloaves

Step 1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (my favorite are If You Care Brand Parchment sheets)
Step 2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except marinara and mozzarella. Mix until evenly combined- avoid over-mixing for the best texture.
Step 3. Form the mixture into 8 small loaves and place them on the baking sheet.
Step 4. Spoon marinara sauce over each loaf and sprinkle with mozzarella.
Step 5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
