Step-by-Step Instructions for Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Gather your ingredients and prepare your workspace.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add finely diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and fragrant. Let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with the cooled onion and garlic. Fold in seasoned breadcrumbs, milk, grated Parmesan, egg, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape two-thirds of the chicken mixture into a rectangle. Create a well in the center and add shredded mozzarella, topping it with the remaining mixture.
- Spread marinara sauce over the top and bake for 45 minutes until bubbling and browning.
- Mix panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, melted butter, and chopped parsley. After initial baking, sprinkle on top with more mozzarella and return to the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to redistribute juices.
