This recipe is not as quick as the others, but it is easy, and comes in at just 4g net carbs per serving.

The ingredients are broken down into sections (meatloaf and the filling), which might be a little confusing, so here’s the full list of combined ingredients you need in the event you’re making a shopping list:

• 2 lbs ground chicken
• 1 cup no sugar added marinara sauce
• 14 cloves garlic minced
• 4 tbsp Italian flat leaf parsley chopped
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp chives chopped
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (full fat)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the marinara sauce, I typically recommend Rao’s No Sugar Added Marinara sauce, but honestly you can use whatever sauce you want, as long as there’s no sugar added. (Tomatoes are inherently carby, and most normal sauces add more sugar for some reason.)

You could also absolutely swap out the ground chicken for beef, or a 50/50 mix of ground beef and ground sausage. All of the other instructions stay the same.
