Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. 2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
3. 3. Divide the chicken mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape them into individual mini loaves. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
4. 4. Lightly brush the tops of the meatloaves with olive oil to help them achieve a delightful golden-brown crust.
5. 5. Pop the meatloaves in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. 6. During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the tops of the meatloaves with shredded mozzarella cheese for an extra cheesy touch.
7. 7. Allow the meatloaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving. These delicious bites pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
Notes
To ensure the perfect Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves every time, keep these tips in mind:
– Avoid Overmixing: Be gentle when combining the ingredients to prevent the meatloaves from becoming dense or tough.
– Ensure Juiciness: The addition of milk helps keep the meatloaves moist and tender, so don’t skip this ingredient.
– Customize Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to tailor the meatloaves to your family’s preferences.
