Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Optional: additional Parmesan and garlic for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated. For a smoother mixture, use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet. Press firmly to ensure it holds together. Optional: sprinkle extra Parmesan and garlic on top for added flavor and crispy crust.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Drizzle olive oil over the loaf. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For a crispy topping, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing for optimal juiciness and clean presentation. Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for chicken for a leaner option.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour to make this dish gluten-free.
- Feel free to add extra garlic or Parmesan on top before baking for more flavor.
