📋 Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
2️⃣ Mix the Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, egg, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
3️⃣ Shape and Bake: Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet (or press into the loaf pan). Bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and firm.
4️⃣ Add the Cheese: Remove from the oven and sprinkle extra shredded mozzarella over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5️⃣ Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
