Creating these Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Add Egg and Milk: Crack the egg into the mixture and pour in the milk. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
5. Shape into Loaves: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, shaping it into two individual loaves for better cooking.
6. Top with Ketchup: Spread a thin layer of ketchup evenly over the top of each meatloaf. This adds both flavor and moisture.
7. Bake: Place the meatloaves in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Add Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy finish.
9. Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the meatloaves to rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps to seal in the juices.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the meatloaves into thick slices and enjoy!

These steps will guide you through preparing a dish that’s not only easy to make but also packed with delightful flavors.
