Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb ground chicken
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 egg
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup ketchup
Seasonings:

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and combine 1 lb ground chicken, 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 2 minced garlic cloves, and ¼ cup chopped parsley.
- Add 1 beaten egg, ¼ cup milk, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, plus salt and pepper to the bowl. Gently mix ingredients until just incorporated.
- Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into individual mini loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optionally, spread 1 tablespoon ketchup across the top of each meatloaf for extra flavor and moisture.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature hits 165°F.
- Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to help retain their juiciness.
Notes
- Check the chicken mixture isn’t overmixed, which can make meatloaves tough and dense.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness without drying out the chicken.
- Fresh garlic delivers more intense flavor than pre-minced versions, so chop it finely yourself.
- For a gluten-free option, swap regular breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
