Description
Juicy, flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves a fun twist on classic meatloaf made mini-sized with ground chicken, garlic, herbs, and plenty of Parmesan cheese for a comforting yet light dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup milk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for topping)
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or small loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley.
3. Mix gently until just combined — do not overmix.
4. Divide the mixture evenly into 6–8 portions and shape into mini loaves (or press into muffin tin wells).
5. Place on a greased baking sheet or muffin pan.
6. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
7. If using mozzarella, sprinkle on top in the last 5 minutes of baking to melt.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Swap ground chicken for turkey if preferred.
Try adding chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
Leftovers make great meal prep lunches — reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
