Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While waiting for that to heat up, I like to grab a big mixing bowl and throw in the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and chopped fresh parsley. The combination of those ingredients already makes my mouth water! I then add the minced garlic, milk, egg, salt, pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. I find it easiest to use my hands to mix everything together until just combined—be careful not to over-mix. This ensures your meatloaf stays tender and doesn’t turn into a dense block.
