Print Recipe

A juicy, tender chicken meatloaf infused with rich garlic and Parmesan flavors, perfect for family dinners or meal prep. This recipe offers a healthier twist on classic meatloaf with a savory garlic Parmesan glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for glaze)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for glaze)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for glaze)
  • Pinch of salt (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, parsley, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix until fully incorporated—do not overmix.
  3. Shape mixture into a loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet or press into a loaf pan.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the meatloaf bakes, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Stir in Parmesan and parsley. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Remove meatloaf from the oven, brush generously with garlic Parmesan glaze, and return to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes.
  8. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra parsley and serve.

Notes

This chicken meatloaf is lighter than traditional beef versions but still ultra-rich thanks to the garlic and Parmesan. Avoid overmixing the meat mixture to keep the texture tender and juicy. The garlic Parmesan glaze adds a flavorful, savory finish that enhances every bite.
