Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for free-form baking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soften.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped onion.
  4. Add the Parmesan cheese to the softened breadcrumb mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Add the ground chicken and the wet ingredient mixture to the breadcrumb mixture. Use your hands to gently mix everything until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  6. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared loaf pan or directly onto the lined baking sheet. Brush the top lightly with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra moist meatloaf, you can substitute half of the ground chicken with ground turkey.
  • If you prefer a glazed meatloaf, mix 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and spread over the top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • This recipe works well when cooked in an air fryer; cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30-35 minutes, checking the internal temperature.
