A delicious twist on traditional meatloaf, made with ground chicken, fresh garlic, and savory Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 1 cup breadcrumbs plain or Italian-seasoned
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low-sodium recommended
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Sauté diced onions in a skillet over medium heat until soft (about 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese until combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf form in the greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Optionally, add paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
To keep the meatloaf moist, avoid overmixing the ingredients. Use fresh garlic for a more intense flavor. Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing; this helps retain its juices. You can add other seasonings or herbs to customize the flavor according to your taste.
