Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves

 Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves are individual-sized savory meatloaves made from ground chicken, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. They are flavored with herbs and baked to perfection, offering a tender and juicy interior with a crispy, golden exterior. This dish is a lighter alternative to traditional meatloaf, with chicken serving as a lean protein, while the garlic and Parmesan pack a punch of flavor.

Ingredients Details:

Ground Chicken: Lean and versatile, it serves as the base of the dish.

Garlic: Adds a strong, savory flavor that complements the chicken.

Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan provides a rich, nutty flavor and helps bind the meatloaf.

Breadcrumbs: Used for structure and to absorb moisture.

Eggs: Help bind the ingredients together.

Herbs: Parsley, thyme, or basil can be added for extra depth of flavor.

Salt & Pepper: To taste.

Optional: Add onion, spinach, or other veggies for extra texture and nutrition.

Cooking Method:

1. Mix: Combine ground chicken, garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, and herbs in a bowl. Mix until well combined.

2. Shape: Form the mixture into individual mini meatloaves or use a muffin tin for perfectly portioned loaves.

3. Bake: Place on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the meatloaves are golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

4. Optional Topping: Brush with marinara sauce or a mix of melted butter and more Parmesan for a delicious crust.

Notes:

Moisture: Chicken is leaner than beef, so be careful not to overcook to prevent the meatloaves from drying out.

Customization: Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or carrots for added flavor and nutrition.

Serving Suggestions: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal. You can also serve them with marinara or a garlic butter sauce for extra flavor.

Storage: These mini meatloaves can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
