For the Meatloaf:

- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional, adds depth)
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -
Mix meatloaf ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, panko, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk (if using). Mix until just combined—don’t overmix or meatloaf will be dense. -
Shape & add glaze:
Transfer mixture to loaf pan and shape into a loaf.
If using glaze, mix ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, then spread evenly over the top. -
Bake:
Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden. -
Rest & serve:
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
