Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 garlic cloves, 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
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

1.⁠ ⁠Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.⁠ ⁠Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the milk to the mixture and combine thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3.⁠ ⁠Shape and Bake:

Shape the mixture into four mini loaves and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of each loaf for added flavor and moisture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 165°F (74°C).
4.⁠ ⁠Add Optional Cheese Topping:

If desired, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top of the loaves during the last 5 minutes of baking to melt.
5.⁠ ⁠Serve:

Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for Success:
Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaves are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Rest the Meatloaves: Allowing the meatloaves to rest for a few minutes after baking helps retain their juices and makes them easier to slice.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
