Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, panko, eggs, garlic, onion, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and milk.
  3. Mix gently with hands or a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape evenly.
  5. Spread ketchup over the top and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey if desired.
  • Add red pepper flakes for spice or fold in mozzarella for a cheesy version.
  • Use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup for a smoky variation.
  • Don’t overmix the meat mixture to maintain tenderness.
