Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ lb ground chicken
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)
¼ cup milk
2 large eggs
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup ketchup or tomato sauce (for topping)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan. Drizzle olive oil over the top.
Spread ketchup or tomato sauce evenly over the loaf, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Mix ingredients gently to avoid a dense texture. Let the loaf rest before slicing for the best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze up to 4 months.
