- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs helps bind the mixture
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley adds freshness and color
- 3 cloves garlic, minced provides aromatic flavor

- 1/4 tsp black pepper provides mild heat
- 1/4 cup milk adds moisture
- 2 tbsp olive oil provides richness

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and beaten egg. Mix gently until well blended.
- Add the dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and milk to the mixture. Lightly fold them into the meatloaf base.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.
- Divide the mixture into portions and shape them into small loaves, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- If using mozzarella cheese, sprinkle it on top of each mini meatloaf.
Cooking
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Cook until golden-brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, let the meatloaves rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best results, avoid overmixing and ensure the ground chicken is fresh. Let the meatloaves rest after baking for juicier bites.
