Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, parsley, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix everything with your hands or a spatula until just combined. You want to be careful not to overmix, or you might end up with a dense meatloaf! As you mix, I love taking a moment to enjoy the aroma of the onions and garlic blending with the chicken—it’s simply heavenly. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
