Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, onion, eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently without overmixing.
  3. Fold in shredded mozzarella cheese for extra richness.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a uniform loaf.
  5. Mix ketchup, Parmesan, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl for the glaze, then spread over the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to retain moisture.
  8. Serve warm with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
