  • Total Time: 1 hour 17 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
  • ¾ cup Italian breadcrumbs (or plain)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup minced yellow onion
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley (divided: 2 tbsp for mixture, 1 tbsp for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×5×2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced yellow onion, minced garlic, egg, whole milk, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Mix the Meatloaf: Use clean hands or a large spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  4. Shape the Meatloaf: Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and ensure it fills the pan evenly.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the top of the meatloaf and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, allowing the meatloaf to cook through and develop flavor.
  7. Broil for Browning: After baking, switch the oven to broil and broil the meatloaf for 2 minutes to achieve a golden-brown top. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Ensure the meatloaf is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • Italian breadcrumbs add extra seasoning, but plain breadcrumbs can be used if preferred.
  • Broiling at the end is key for a crispy, golden top—keep a close eye during this step.
  • Leftovers store well and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
