Garlic Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf

• total time: 48 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs ground chicken

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)

1 tsp garlic powder,

1 tsp Onion powder

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt adjust for tasting

1/2 tsp black pepper

Additional fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Prepare the Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, minced garlic, egg, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is just combined — be careful not to overwork the mixture.

Shape and Bake: Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet, or press it into the loaf pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the meatloaf is cooked through and firm.

Add the Cheese: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle extra shredded mozzarella over the top. Return it to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
