Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, milk, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix until everything is well combined, but be careful not to overmix, as this could make the meatloaf tough.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it in evenly.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the meatloaf for extra flavor and moisture.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure it holds together.

Notes

Can substitute ground turkey for a leaner alternative.

Add chopped vegetables like onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Substitute Parmesan with Romano cheese for a similar sharp flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

To freeze, wrap tightly and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
