Ingredients
Scale

- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, sautéed garlic and onion, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, eggs, parsley, basil, and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix gently to combine, then shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken or use almond flour for a gluten-free version. Allowing the meatloaf to rest after baking will improve its juiciness.
