This easy chicken meatloaf is juicy, flavorful, and perfect for weeknight dinners. Made with simple pantry ingredients and ready in under an hour!

Scale

1 ½ lbs ground chicken

1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)

2 large eggs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup milk

½ cup finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp ketchup (plus more for topping)

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, milk, chopped onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Mix gently using clean hands or a spatula until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it in evenly and smooth the top.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup (about 2–3 tablespoons) over the top for a tangy glaze.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is slightly caramelized.

Rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Add finely shredded carrots or zucchini for extra moisture and hidden veggies.
