- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, and salt.
- Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet or into the loaf pan.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and top is golden.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

- Add finely chopped spinach or sautéed mushrooms for more veggies.
- For heat, include red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Make mini meatloaf muffins using a cupcake tin for faster cooking and easy meal prep.
- Freeze leftover slices individually for a quick meal option.
