Ingredients
  

  • → Meatloaf
  • 900 g ground chicken
  • 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried basil
  • 0.5 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • → Garlic Parmesan Glaze
  • 45 g unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 pinch fine salt

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • loaf pan or baking sheet
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Parchment paper
  • basting brush
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, Parmesan, panko, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, parsley, salt, pepper, and milk until evenly combined but not overmixed.
  3. Form the mixture into a loaf and transfer to the prepared baking sheet or press into a loaf pan.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
  5. While baking, melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and parsley; cook another 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with a pinch of salt.
  6. Brush the baked meatloaf generously with the glaze and return to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes.
  7. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional parsley and serve.

Notes

For extra moisture, avoid overmixing the chicken mixture. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a comforting dinner. Leftovers reheat beautifully for meal prep.
