Ingredients
- Ground chicken: 1.5 pounds
- Breadcrumbs: 1 cup, plain
- Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup, grated
- Egg: 1 large
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Italian seasoning: 1 tablespoon
- Milk: 1/4 cup
- Salt and pepper: to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press down gently to create an even surface.
- Step 5: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
- Step 6: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftover meatloaf in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat slices in a skillet with a little olive oil to maintain moisture and crisp the edges.
- Serve with a simple marinara sauce or a lemon-herb aioli to complement the Parmesan flavor.
- Don't overmix the chicken mixture; gently combine the ingredients to keep the meatloaf tender.
