Ingredients
  

Meatloaf Base
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley fresh
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese optional, for topping

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add milk and stir gently until absorbed for a tender texture.
  4. Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a mini loaf. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over each loaf to promote browning and a crisp crust.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Optionally, top with mozzarella cheese in the final 5 minutes of baking until melted and slightly golden.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These mini meatloaves are perfect for weeknights and adapt well to keto or gluten-free diets. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad. Leftovers store beautifully in the fridge or freezer for easy meals later.
