Bright lemon zest and fresh thyme cut through savory ground chicken in this weeknight-friendly loaf, with softened onion and garlic folded in for depth. A tangy-sweet glaze of ketchup, mustard, lemon juice, and honey caramelizes at the edges while it bakes, giving every slice a glossy, flavorful top. The chicken stays juicy thanks to a gentle hand in mixing and a moist, well-seasoned base, so you get a tender crumb rather than a dense brick. Finished with a squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh parsley, it's a comforting dinner that reheats beautifully for lunches all week. This one's a solid pick for a gluten free table, no complicated technique required — just a loaf pan, a baking sheet, and an oven doing the real work.
