A delicious and easy-to-make meatloaf featuring ground chicken, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground chicken
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and lightly beaten eggs.
- Add the panko bread crumbs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Pour the sautéed garlic and oil into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Add the chopped fresh parsley.
- Gently add the ground chicken to the mixing bowl. Mix everything together until just combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Gently transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Shape the mixture into an even loaf.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder.
- Brush the top of the meatloaf with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the loaf pan, around the meatloaf.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- The meatloaf is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Once cooked through, remove from oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- After resting, slice the meatloaf into even pieces and serve immediately.
