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.
