Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf offers 5 bold flavors to satisfy your hunger and brighten dinner with every bite

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds ground chicken (preferably lean, but not too dry)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian style, lightly packed)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup milk (any kind you prefer, whole milk adds richness)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, but fresh is best)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 cup tomato sauce or marinara sauce (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Mix the wet ingredients separately: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, beaten eggs, milk, and tomato sauce (hold back some for topping).
  • In another bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mix. Stir gently with your hands or a large spoon until just combined.
  • Shape the meat mixture into a loaf roughly 8 inches long and a couple inches high on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Spread the remaining tomato sauce evenly on top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake uncovered for about 45-55 minutes. Check the center temperature hits 165°F (74°C).
  • Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes before slicing.
