# Ingredient List:
→ Meatloaf
01 - 2 pounds ground chicken
02 - 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
03 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
09 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley
10 - 1 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/2 cup whole milk
→ Glaze & Garnish
13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
14 - 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
15 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a loaf pan.
02 - In a large bowl, gently mix ground chicken, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and milk until just combined to avoid tough texture.
03 - Form the mixture into a loaf shape and position it on the prepared baking sheet or in the greased loaf pan.
04 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the loaf feels firm to the touch.
05 - While baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Optionally add one minced garlic clove and sauté until fragrant. Stir in Parmesan and half of the chopped parsley and cook until slightly thickened.
06 - Remove the loaf from oven and brush the top with the prepared glaze. Return to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden and bubbly.
07 - Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and serve warm.
