Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground chicken Use fresh ground chicken from a trusted source or grind your own for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated Parmesan melts and blends better than pre-grated.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Mince garlic finely or press it for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Flat leaf parsley is preferred for flavor.
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs Plain breadcrumbs work well; if using panko, pulse it briefly in a food processor.
  • 1 large egg The egg binds and adds moisture.
  • 1 tsp salt Adjust according to the saltiness of your Parmesan.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper Use freshly cracked pepper for best flavor.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning Homemade mix of oregano, basil, and thyme works well.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into mini loaf shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the meatloaves are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  2. Let the loaves rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Serving
  1. Serve with mashed potatoes, a side salad, or veggies.

Notes

For a different texture, try adding finely grated carrot or zucchini. If you want extra flavor, brush with ketchup or BBQ sauce before baking.
