Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
2 large eggs
1 medium onion, diced
2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Sauté diced onion in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until fully incorporated.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Optional: add paprika or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
