A flavorful and juicy meatloaf made with ground chicken and seasoned with garlic and Parmesan, topped with a delicious garlic Parmesan glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 900 g ground chicken or ground turkey
- 100 g Parmesan cheese, shredded (or Romano cheese)
- 60 g panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 ml whole milk or plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 25 g additional Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and milk. Mix gently until just incorporated; do not overwork.
- Form the mixture into a compact loaf and transfer onto the prepared baking sheet or into the greased loaf pan.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C when checked with a thermometer.
- While the meatloaf bakes, melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in additional shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley, cooking until the glaze is slightly thickened.
- Brush the prepared glaze over the baked meatloaf, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until golden and aromatic.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the chicken mixture to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches the proper internal temperature.
- Customize the herbs to your preference for additional flavor.
