Savor the comfort of home with every bite! Perfect for a cozy family dinner or a rewarding meal after a long day.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

1. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2. 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
3. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
5. 1 egg
6. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese plus extra for topping
7. 1/4 cup milk
8. 1 tsp Italian seasoning
9. Salt and black pepper, to taste
10. 1.5 lbs ground chicken
11. Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the ground chicken with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, egg, milk, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until it's just combined.
3. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf on your prepared baking sheet, or press it into the prepped loaf pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and firm.
5. After baking, sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the meatloaf. Return it to the oven and continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is deliciously melted and bubbly.
6. Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your preferred side dishes.
