Description

This Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is a flavorful and moist take on the classic meatloaf, combining ground chicken with fragrant garlic, savory Parmesan cheese, and tender sautéed onions. Perfectly seasoned and baked to perfection, it makes for a comforting and protein-packed dinner that serves six.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Sauté Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. This step enhances their sweetness and flavor.
  3. Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Form the Meatloaf: Shape the chicken mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the greased baking dish, ensuring it is compact and evenly formed.
  5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the loaf. Optionally, add a sprinkle of paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor and color.
  6. Bake the Meatloaf: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
  7. Rest Before Serving: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making it moist and easier to slice.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
  • You can substitute Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs if plain breadcrumbs are not available.
  • Letting the meatloaf rest after baking improves texture and juiciness.
  • Optional seasonings such as paprika or Italian herbs can enhance the flavor profile.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
