Juicy and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf, made with ground chicken, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and a delicious garlic butter topping. A family-friendly dinner that’s easy to make and sure to please!

Ingredients

Meatloaf:

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mix the meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese until well mixed. Shape into a loaf and place in the prepared pan.
  3. Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Spread over the top of the meatloaf.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meatloaf mixture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is cooked through (165°F/74°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing for a more moist result.
  • Customize the flavors with chopped onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best taste.
  • Spicy Meatloaf: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Vegetarian Meatloaf: Substitute the ground chicken with lentils or a vegetarian ground meat substitute.
  • Gluten-Free Meatloaf: Use gluten-free bread crumbs instead of panko bread crumbs.
  • Leftover meatloaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
