Drain your chicken and vegetables saving the stock. When your chicken cooled down a little bit, take the meet off the bones.

Separate the eggs and beat your egg whites until stiff picks. 

Add egg yolks to your meat mixture.

Add grated garlic, marjoram, nutmeg and salt and pepper if needed.

Mix everything and at the end add egg whites and fold in gently. 

Line your loaf pan with aluminum foil and spray with non stick spray. Transfer your meat mixture, spread evenly and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Bake in preheated oven to 180 C for about an hour.
