Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 200 grams white mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 80 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 60 ml milk
- 40 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a loaf pan with a small amount of olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Finely chop the white mushrooms and onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and it evaporates. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cooked mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, grated parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly to ensure a compact loaf. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
