Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf

Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf

I love chicken parmesan! This meatloaf mimics the flavor profile of chicken parm and lightens it up in a quick and easy meat loaf. I served this with angel hair parmesan pasta, mozzarella sticks, and vegetables.

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground chicken

1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs

1 cup marina sauce

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

Topping:

1 cup marina sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

fresh basil

Directions:

  1. Spray a bread pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Gently mix chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, eggs, and spices in a medium bowl.
  3. Press mixture into a bread pan.
  4. Spread extra marinra sauce on top.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Sprinkle fresh basil on top of the cheese.
  7. Spray olive oil spray on aluminum foil (to prevent cheese sticking) and cover the meatloaf with the foil.
  8. If baking immediately bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for 5-10 more minutes.
  9. If baking after prepping and refrigerating bake for an hour before removing the foil. Then bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
  10. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
