Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onion and garlic, beaten egg, bread crumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, 0.25 cup of ketchup, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough meatloaf.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a greased loaf pan, pressing it down gently to spread it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Spread the remaining 0.25 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is nicely browned.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
