Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf
This delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is a family favorite, combining juicy ground chicken with garlic and Parmesan cheese for a flavorful comfort food dish.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Plus extra for topping
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley Optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands (or a spoon) to mix until well combined.
- Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, ensuring it’s even throughout for consistent cooking.
- If you like, sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.
Cooking
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps to keep it juicy!
- Slice and serve it warm, perhaps garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Notes
For an ideal serving experience, pair with sides like creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a refreshing green salad. Substitutions can include using turkey or lean beef instead of ground chicken. To retain moisture, consider adding a splash of milk or chicken broth if needed.
