Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, diced onion, parsley, minced garlic, eggs, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until fully incorporated but take care not to overmix.
- Transfer the chicken mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Shape gently into a loaf form, ensuring an even surface.
- Spread ketchup over the top for added flavor and moisture, if desired.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This will help the juices settle.
Serving
- Slice and serve right away or set aside for later. Enjoy the robust flavors and comforting texture!

To ensure a perfect meatloaf, be gentle when mixing the ingredients. Use fresh garlic for a stronger flavor and let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
