Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken (92-93% lean)
  • 4–6 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for glaze, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for glaze, optional)

Instructions

  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, whisk together the egg, milk (or chicken broth), and Worcestershire sauce. Add the finely minced fresh garlic.
  3. To the wet mixture, add the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together gently until just combined. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the ground chicken to the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture. Using your hands, gently mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, about 9×4 inches.
  6. Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Evenly spread your prepared glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Nutrition

Keywords: Do not overmix the chicken mixture to ensure a tender meatloaf. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, and allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing for maximum juiciness.
