Instructions
Creating this savory Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
3. Sauté Onions & Garlic: In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, sautéed onions, garlic, eggs, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and milk.
5. Mix Well: Using your hands, mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
6. Shape the Loaf: Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a neat loaf.
7. Add Topping: Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture.
8. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Rest: Remove from the oven, and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Slice and serve warm with your choice of sides.
