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.
