Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here are the steps to create your delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, onion, egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—overmixing can lead to a dense loaf.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to shape it evenly.
- Brush the top with a bit of olive oil to help it brown nicely and create a beautiful crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is moist and flavorful.
Cooking is about intuition and love, so feel free to add your personal touch. Maybe a dash of your favorite spice or some extra herbs—it’s your story to tell!
