Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add Eggs and Milk: Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl; then add them to the mixture along with the milk, stirring until fully combined.
5. Transfer to Pan: Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.
6. Add Topping: Spread ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for an added layer of flavor and moisture.
7. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it moist.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and serve warm.
