Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the lean ground chicken with minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, plain breadcrumbs, eggs, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix everything gently until just combined to keep the meatloaf tender.
  3. Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and shape it into a neat loaf shape, ensuring it is evenly packed for uniform cooking.
  4. Add Topping: Spread the ketchup evenly on top of the meatloaf. This adds moisture and a tangy flavor that caramelizes during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  6. Rest and Serve: Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for five minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use lean ground chicken to keep the dish healthy and juicy.
  • Ensure not to overmix the meat mixture to prevent a dense meatloaf.
  • You can substitute ketchup topping with barbecue sauce for a different flavor.
  • Resting the meatloaf after baking helps retain moisture and improves texture.
  • Internal temperature must reach 165°F for safe consumption of poultry.
