  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs Large eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup whole milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients: ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and whole milk. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet, or press it evenly into the loaf pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, cooking until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1–2 minutes more.
  4. After baking, brush the meatloaf generously with the garlic Parmesan glaze and return it to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes.
  5. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.
