Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. This adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the meatloaf.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and shape it into a loaf form, ensuring it is compact but not too dense.
  5. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the meatloaf. For extra flavor, you can optionally add a sprinkle of paprika or Italian seasoning.
  6. Bake: Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked but still juicy.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a moist and tender slice.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content of the meatloaf.
  • Ensure the meatloaf is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps retain moisture.
  • Breadcrumbs can be replaced with gluten-free alternatives if desired.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or Italian seasoning to customize the flavor.
