Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking dish. If using a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. If you prefer a loaf pan, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, egg, milk, chopped parsley, and Italian seasoning. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper as well. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet, or press it into the loaf pan.
Cooking
- Bake the meatloaf in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until firm to the touch and golden brown. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked, take it out of the oven and sprinkle some additional shredded mozzarella on top. Return it to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into portions. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
This meatloaf is perfect for family meals and leftovers can be used in sandwiches. When stored properly, it lasts up to three days in the fridge.
