Ingredients You’ll Need to Make this Sheet Pan Mini Chicken Meatloaf Recipe
You’ll need just a handful of ingredients to make this Sheet Pan Mini Chicken Meatloaf recipe, including…
- Gold potatoes may be my favorite potato. They’re almost sweet with a delicious buttery texture. Of course, you can use any potato you love. The key in this recipe is to slice them really thin.
- Oil is the fat added to this recipe to help the potatoes and green beans crisp. I prefer to cook with avocado or olive oil.
- Ground chicken is one of my favorite ground meats to use because it has a mild taste (definitely milder than ground turkey).
- Panko breadcrumbs help hold the meatloaf together. I like panko breadcrumbs because they’re super light, but you can use any breadcrumbs too.
- Garlic adds so much flavor, but also nutritional benefits too.
- Tons of spices, including dried oregano, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
- Trimmed green beans are my veggie of choice for this sheet pan recipe because they cook pretty quickly and don’t need much time at all.
- Ketchup is my secret meatloaf ingredient. My mom would always top meatloaf with ketchup, so now I do too. It’s so good. Just trust the process.

How to Make This Sheet Pan Mini Chicken Meatloaf recipe
This recipe is super easy to make, but does take a few steps.
First, you’ll thinly slice the potatoes. Slicing the potatoes thinly ensures they’ll cook quickly. Add them to a large baking sheet and coat in oil and sprinkle salt on top. The potatoes need more time to cook than the remaining ingredients, so you’ll add them to the oven first.
Next, prepare the meatloaf mixture. Combine the ground chicken with garlic, panko breadcrumbs and spices until well combined. Set aside until the potatoes are par-cooked.
When the potatoes begin to soften, you’ll add the remaining ingredients to the sheet pan. Carve out space and shape the meatloaf mixture into 4 meatloaves. Add the green beans to the sheet pan and spray with oil spray and additional salt. Divide the ketchup amongst the meatloaves and spread into a thin layer.
Return to the oven to let finish cooking.
