1/4 tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, egg, milk, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix gently until just combined — do not overmix.
4. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared pan or press evenly into the loaf pan.
5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes
For a crispier top, broil the meatloaf for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
Leftovers make great sandwiches the next day.
