Description
A comforting recipe for savory garlic Parmesan chicken meatloaves, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- A handful of fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or thyme), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional spices (e.g., paprika or oregano)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, minced garlic, and beaten egg. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Gently blend the mixture until just combined. Form into mini loaves or patties, about 4-6 ounces each, and place them in the baking dish.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Consider drizzling with more Parmesan for an extra cheesy crust.
- Let the meatloaves rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with a fresh salad or creamy mashed potatoes.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the meatloaf mixture to ensure a tender texture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to three months.
