Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf
  • 2 lbs ground chicken 93/7 lean recommended
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk Any kind works
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated
  • 4 cloves garlic Finely minced
  • 1/2 cup onion Finely grated
  • 2 large eggs Beaten
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley Chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Meat thermometer

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the milk is fully absorbed.
  3. Add the ground chicken, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, grated onion, beaten eggs, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
  4. Using your hands, mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into an 8x4 inch loaf.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: Mix gently and only until the ingredients are combined to ensure a tender meatloaf.
Rest is Best: Allowing the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after baking is crucial for it to retain its juices.
