Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion, eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overmixing.
  3. If desired, fold in shredded mozzarella cheese for an extra cheesy surprise.
  4. Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the glaze ingredients: ketchup, additional Parmesan, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread the glaze over the meatloaf.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 55-65 minutes until the top is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
