Description
This Melt-in-Your-Mouth Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is a comforting, cheesy twist on a classic. Made with lean ground chicken, garlic, parmesan, and topped with a sweet ketchup glaze, it’s juicy, flavorful, and perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground chicken
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—don’t overwork it!
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top for that classic tangy finish.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Swap the plain breadcrumbs for Italian-style for an herby boost.
Ground turkey works as a substitute for chicken, though texture and flavor may vary slightly.
Make mini meatloaves for quicker cooking and perfect portions—great for meal prep!
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days and freeze beautifully.
