Main Ingredients
- 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
- Prepare oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Combine base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together ground chicken, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Incorporate liquids: Add the whole milk to the mixture and gently mix until the mixture is uniform and cohesive, ensuring that everything is evenly distributed.
- Shape mini loaves: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a compact mini loaf. Place the loaves spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Top and bake: Drizzle each loaf with extra virgin olive oil. If desired, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top for extra cheesy goodness. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until the loaves are golden and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
- Rest and serve: Remove the meatloaves from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices settle, ensuring tender and moist meatloaves.
Notes
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) for safe consumption of poultry.
- Using fresh parsley adds brightness but dried parsley can be substituted if needed.
- If you prefer a crispier top, you can broil the meatloaves for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- These mini loaves can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite herbs or add a dash of chili flakes for heat.
