Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs plain or Italian style
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce for the topping
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, for the topping
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, milk, garlic, onion, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan and press it lightly into an even loaf.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the meatloaf is nearly cooked through.
- Spread the marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and a thermometer in the center of the loaf reads 165°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra parsley and Parmesan if you like.
Notes
Mix gently and do not overmix. Ground chicken is done at 165°F in the center. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days or freeze 3 to 4 months; reheat to 165°F.
