For the Meatloaf
  • 2 pounds Ground Chicken A lean protein choice that keeps this meatloaf tender and juicy.

  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Binds the meatloaf; use plain or gluten-free for a versatile option.
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for holding everything together and giving structure.
  • 1 cup Diced Onion Rich in moisture and sweetness when cooked; always opt for fresh for optimal taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Boosts umami flavors; low-sodium versions are great for a healthier profile.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced onions for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions with ground chicken, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Transfer the meat mixture to the greased baking dish and shape it into a loaf.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese generously over the top, and optionally add paprika or Italian seasoning.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with your favorite sides.
