1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping, optional)
2 tablespoons marinara sauce (for topping, optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2: Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, onion powder, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3: Shape the Meatloaf

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a compact loaf, ensuring it holds together well.

Step 4: Bake the Meatloaf

Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Add the Topping (Optional)

If using, spread marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
