Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
For the Meatloaf:
500g minced chicken meat
1/2 cup (50g) breadcrumbs (or panko)
1/3 cup (30g) grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped or grated
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sweet paprika (optional)
For the Glaze:
1/3 cup (80ml) ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 tbsp honey
Preparation:
1. Make the Meatloaf Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine minced chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well incorporated.
2. Shape the Meatloaf:
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Press the mixture into the pan, shaping it evenly.
3. Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Spread the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.
4. Bake:
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). For a caramelized glaze, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
5. Rest and Serve:
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
