🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
1. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2. Salt and black pepper, to taste
3. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
4. 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
6. 1 egg

8. 1/4 cup milk
9. 1.5 lbs ground chicken
10. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
11. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat 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, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, minced garlic, egg, milk, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until everything is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
3. Shape the mixture into a loaf on your prepared baking sheet, or press it into the greased loaf pan.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and firm.
5. Remove from the oven and top with additional shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes after baking. Slice, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
