A lighter, garlic-forward chicken meatloaf with Parmesan, perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Add a splash of oil, then sauté the diced onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, cooled onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan. Mix gently until evenly combined; don’t overwork the meat.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the greased baking dish. Smooth the top with wet hands for neatness.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top. If you like, dust with a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning for color and a flavor lift.
  6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a lighter texture, panko breadcrumbs can be used. Tamari is a gluten-free substitute for soy sauce; reduce salt if using regular soy sauce.
