Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and milk.
  3. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and gently shape the top into a slightly rounded form.
  5. If desired, spread a thin layer of ketchup on top for a tangy-sweet glaze.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or green beans.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
