Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground chicken
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, milk, panko breadcrumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the chicken mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down firmly to ensure an even shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create a glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the loaf pan.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the chicken loaf onto a serving plate or cutting board. Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
