Ingredients
  

  • * Chicken ground 1 lb (450 grams)
  • * Whole wheat breadcrumbs 1/2 cup (120 ml)
  • * Grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • * Large egg 1
  • * Garlic cloves minced, 2
  • * Italian seasoning 1 tsp (5 ml)
  • * Salt 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml)
  • * Black pepper 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml)
  • * Crushed tomatoes 1 cup (240 ml)
  • * Mozzarella cheese shredded, 1/2 cup (120 ml)
  • * Fresh basil chopped, 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • * Olive oil 1 tbsp (15 ml)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine crushed tomatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread this sauce over the top of the chicken mixture in the loaf pan.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes or until the Healthy High Protein Chicken Parm Meatloaf is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
  8. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle chopped basil on top for that extra burst of flavor.

Notes

1. If you want a crispy top, place your Healthy High Protein Chicken Parm Meatloaf under the broiler for 2-3 minutes after baking.
2. Always let your meatloaf rest after cooking. This ensures all the juices redistribute, making every bite juicy and flavorful.
3. Feel free to add some chopped veggies like bell peppers or zucchini into the meat mixture for extra nutrients and flavor.
4. For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce.
