Instructions
How to Make Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Add paprika or Italian seasoning if desired.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
