Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Add the ground chicken, soy sauce, egg, and ketchup to the mixture.
  6. Gently mix the ingredients using a spatula, folding instead of stirring to maintain texture.
  7. Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  8. Shape the mixture into a compact loaf, pressing the edges firmly.
  9. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with additional paprika if desired.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juiciness.
  12. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
