🍗 Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf - a flavor-packed twist on the classic! 🍗

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground chicken
½ cup breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, egg, milk, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Form the Meatloaf:
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf shape. If using a baking sheet, shape the mixture into a free-standing loaf.

Top with Mozzarella:
Sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese on top of the meatloaf for an extra cheesy finish.

Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese on top.

Garnish and Serve:
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Serve:
Enjoy your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal!
