Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-seasoned)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and chopped onion.

      Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Mix until well combined. Use your hands or a spatula for the best results.

        Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and shape it into a loaf, smoothing the top and sides. Make sure it’s well-formed for even cooking.

          Add the Topping: Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for moisture and flavor during baking.

            Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

              Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape and retain juices.

                  - Presentation Tips: Plate slices of the meatloaf atop a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, drizzle with extra ketchup or a sprig of parsley for garnish, and serve with steamed vegetables for a colorful and inviting presentation.
