Once all of the ingredients are incorporated, place the chicken into the prepared loaf pan. **This step is optional, you can create a loaf shape without placing the chicken in the loaf pan. I taking this step made the process easier.
Turn the chicken out onto the prepared lined baking sheet and set aside.

Reserve 2 tablespoon of the glaze mixture and set aside for later use.

Notes

Can I make the chicken meatloaf in a pan instead?

Absolutely. Baking the meatloaf on a baking sheet because it cuts the cook time down and it evenly bakes the chicken and gives it a nice ‘crust’ on the outside.
