Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture:

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk together the milk and lightly beaten eggs.

    2. We want to make sure the eggs are well incorporated into the milk, creating a smooth and even mixture. This will help bind the meatloaf together and keep it moist.

  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Now, add the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the wet ingredients.

    3. Mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as overmixing can lead to a tough meatloaf. We want a light and tender texture.

  3. Sauté the Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

    4. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as burnt garlic will have a bitter taste. The aroma of the garlic should fill your kitchen – that’s how you know it’s ready!

  4. Incorporate the Garlic and Parsley: Pour the sautéed garlic and oil into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.

    5. Add the chopped fresh parsley as well. The parsley will add a pop of freshness and color to the meatloaf.

  5. Add the Ground Chicken: Gently add the ground chicken to the mixing bowl.

    6. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, gently mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. We want the ingredients to be evenly distributed, but we don’t want to work the meat too much.
