Description
Juicy mini chicken meatloaves infused with garlic, Parmesan, and Italian herbs baked to golden perfection and topped with a buttery Parmesan glaze. A flavorful, protein-packed twist on classic comfort food.
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp melted butter (for glaze)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan (for glaze)
1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, egg, milk, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix gently until just combined — avoid overmixing for tender loaves.
4. Divide mixture into 4–6 equal portions and shape into mini loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Meanwhile, mix melted butter and Parmesan for the glaze.
7. Brush glaze over the hot meatloaves and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes to set.
8. Remove from oven, rest for 5 minutes, sprinkle with parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp Caesar salad.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Leftovers make great sandwiches or meal prep lunches.
