Ingredients
For the Meatloaf:
-
2 lbs ground chicken
-
1 egg
-
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
-
2 teaspoons minced onion
-
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
-
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Meatloaf
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
-
Ground chicken
-
Egg
-
Bread crumbs
-
Minced onion
-
Garlic powder
-
Dried parsley

Salt
-
Pepper
-
Mayonnaise
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Shape and Bake
Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to form an even loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Optional Topping (Golden Crust)
For extra texture and a crispy finish:
-
Sprinkle additional bread crumbs and grated cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
