Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 450 grams ground chicken
  • 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 grams breadcrumbs
  • 15 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 60 millilitres whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 25 grams grated mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Add Milk and Combine: Pour in the whole milk and gently mix the mixture until it becomes uniform and holds together well without being overly wet.
  4. Form Mini Loaves: Divide the mixture evenly into four portions. Shape each portion into a compact mini loaf and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow even cooking.
  5. Add Olive Oil and Cheese: Drizzle each mini loaf with extra virgin olive oil for moisture and flavor. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with grated mozzarella cheese for a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meatloaves for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden on top and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) to ensure they are fully cooked.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier meatloaf. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole milk with low-fat milk for a lighter version.
  • Ensure the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) to guarantee the chicken is safely cooked.
  • Using fresh garlic enhances flavor but can be adjusted to taste.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • These mini loaves can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
