Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, minced garlic, egg, milk, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into small loaf forms. Place them on the prepared baking sheet or dish.
4. If using mozzarella, sprinkle a little on top of each mini meatloaf.
5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture over the tops of the meatloaves.
6. Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. For a golden cheesy top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end if desired.
8. Remove from the oven, garnish with extra parsley, and serve warm.
