Delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf: A Comforting and Flavor-Packed Twist on a Classic Dish
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, parsley, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Shape and Bake: Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
4. Make the Garlic Parmesan Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Glaze and Serve: Once the meatloaf is baked, pour the Garlic Parmesan Glaze over the top. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Choose the Right Ground Chicken: Opt for a blend of dark and light meat for the best texture and flavor.
Adjust Spices to Taste: Feel free to add a bit more or less of the spices to suit your personal preferences.
Make it Gluten-Free: Substitute the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed pork rinds for a delicious gluten-free option.
Store and Reheat with Ease: Leftover meatloaf can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place slices in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf has reached an internal temperature of 165°F before removing it from the oven.
Get Creative with Add-Ins: Mix in sautéed vegetables, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs for additional flavor and texture.
