✔ 1 large egg
✔ 2 cloves garlic (minced)
✔ 1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
✔ 1/4 cup milk

✔ 1 tsp Italian seasoning
✔ 1/2 tsp salt
✔ 1/4 tsp black pepper
✔ 2 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)
✔ 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Prep the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Make the Meatloaf Mixture
- In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix, or the meatloaf will be tough.
3. Shape the Meatloaves
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 mini loaves and place them on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden crust.
4. Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add Cheese (Optional)
- Sprinkle mozzarella or extra Parmesan on top in the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
6. Serve & Enjoy!
Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
