A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, this Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is juicy, flavorful, and packed with cheesy, garlicky goodness. Perfect for weeknight dinners and meal prepping, it pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, minced garlic, egg, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  3. Shape the Meatloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meatloaf is firm.
  5. Add a Parmesan Topping: In the last five minutes of baking, sprinkle extra shredded mozzarella on top of the meatloaf and let it melt slightly.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Let the meatloaf rest for a couple of minutes, then serve warm with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • To keep the meatloaf moist, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
  • For added moisture, consider mixing in a tablespoon of milk or chicken broth.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan provides the best flavor.
