Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf
  • 1.5 pounds ground chicken
  • 3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs or plain
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup minced yellow onion
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5x2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced yellow onion, minced garlic, egg, whole milk, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Mix the ingredients with clean hands or a large spoon until they are well combined.
  4. Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared loaf pan. Top with the shredded Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. For a golden-brown top, broil for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
