→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound ground chicken
02 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
03 -
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
04 -
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
05 -
3 garlic cloves, minced
06 -
1 egg, beaten
07 -
1 tsp dried oregano
08 -
1/2 tsp salt
09 -
1/4 tsp black pepper
10 -
1/4 cup milk
11 -
2 tbsp olive oil
12 -
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese (optional)
# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Start by preheating your oven to ensure it's ready when your meatloaves are formed
02 -
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed
03 -
Pour in the milk and mix again. This step ensures the meatloaves stay moist and tender
04 -
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into mini loaves. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
05 -
Drizzle olive oil over the loaves for added moisture and flavor
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If desired, add mozzarella cheese during the last five minutes of baking for a gooey, cheesy topping
07 -
Once done, remove from the oven and let the meatloaves rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain their moisture and flavor
# Cook's Notes:
01 -
Ground chicken can sometimes be dry, so don't skip the milk and olive oil
02 -
Chop garlic finely to avoid large chunks
03 -
Mixture can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated
