Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup (for topping, optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping, optional)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cooled onion and garlic mixture, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared loaf pan or on the baking sheet.
- If desired, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ground chicken with a slightly higher fat content for a juicier meatloaf.
- Do not overmix the meatloaf mixture; this can make the meatloaf tough.
- You can prepare the meatloaf mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
