Ingredients

  • 900 g ground chicken
  • 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried basil
  • 0.5 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • For the Garlic Parmesan Glaze:
  • 45 g unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • Pinch of fine salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix ground chicken, Parmesan, panko, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and milk until just combined.
  3. Shape into a loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet or press into a loaf pan.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
  5. While baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add garlic and sauté 1–2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and parsley, cook another 1–2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  6. Remove meatloaf from oven and brush with the garlic Parmesan glaze. Return to oven and bake an additional 5–7 minutes to set the glaze.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with more parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep the texture tender.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches a safe internal temperature.
  • You can shape and chill the loaf ahead of time for easier prep on busy days.
  • Add extra Parmesan on top before baking for more cheesy flavor.
