Ingredients
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg

Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil spray.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper.
3. Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could result in a dense meatloaf.
4. Shape the Meatloaves: Divide the mixture into individual portions, shaping each portion into a small loaf or ovals. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Add Topping: Drizzle or spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of each meatloaf for added flavor.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when fully cooked.
7. Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before plating. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps them moist.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
