Description
A lighter take on traditional meatloaf made with ground chicken, fresh garlic, and Parmesan cheese for savory flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line with parchment.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan.
- Mix gently until evenly distributed, avoiding overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the greased baking dish. Pat the top smooth.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C). Tent with foil if it browns too fast.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
