How to make ground chicken meatloaf that’s not dry
Since ground chicken doesn’t have much fat, it tends to not be as “juicy” as traditional meatloaf. Here’s how we keep it moist and flavorful in this recipe:
No breadcrumbs – These just soak up the juices and dry out the meatloaf.No eggs – Eggs help bind the meatloaf, but they also thicken the texture.Veggies – Finely processed garlic, onion, mushrooms and carrot release liquid when cooking.Coconut aminos – This adds some extra salty flavor and liquid to the keep the meatloaf very moist.

A vacuum sealer is great for this.
