Instructions
Creating Delicious Gluten-Free Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a fantastic dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
4. Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to the lined loaf pan. Press it down to form an even shape. If you prefer, you can also shape it freehand onto a lined baking sheet.
5. Add Topping: Optionally, spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of the meatloaf for added flavor and a nice glaze.
6. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). You can check this using a meat thermometer.
7. Cool: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices inside.
8. Slice and Serve: Enjoy warm, sliced, with your favorite sides!
