Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, egg, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Shape and Bake: Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet or press it into the loaf pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, ensuring the meatloaf is firm and cooked through.
Add the Mozzarella Topping: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella on top. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns golden and bubbly.
Rest and Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Pro Tip: Pair this flavorful meatloaf with roasted veggies, creamy mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad for a complete and satisfying meal!
