Chicken Parm Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add the onion, garlic, parsley and basil to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium sized bowl.
• Add 3/4 cup of marinara, bread crumbs, parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the ground chicken and mix to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared sheet pan and shape into an 8x4 inch loaf.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and brush with remaining 1/4 cup marinara sauce. Top with the shredded mozzarella and continue baking for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and garlic powder. Toast, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool several minutes, before stirring in the parmesan, parsley and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Garnish the meatloaf with some of the bread crumb mixture and a sprig of basil. Serve remaining bread crumb mixture and more marinara sauce on the side.

Steps:

• For the breadcrumbs: The night before, toast the wheat bread and leave out overnight to dry out.
• The following day, crumble the toasted wheat bread to the consistency of pebbles and sand in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the potato base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dunk each piece of potato in the butter and pat dry a little. Line the bottoms and all the way up the sides of 6 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with 2 to 3 layers of potato slices (about 15 slices per muffin cup), so that the potatoes come up about 1/4 inch over the top. Fill the empty cups with water. Bake until the potatoes are golden, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
• For the chicken meatloaf: Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the lemonade and reserved breadcrumbs and stir until mushy. Add the Parmesan, onion, Worcestershire, salt, chile flakes, garlic, egg and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until it forms a loose paste. Add the chicken and tomatoes and fold with your hands until everything is combined. This should be sticky!
• Press some of the chicken mixture into each potato-lined muffin cup. Press a sprig of thyme on top of each. Refill each empty cup with water. Bake until the meatloaf edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes, then remove each loaf with a spatula or butter knife. Serve with Meatloaf Gravy if desired.
• In a small pot on medium heat, add the butter and flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture stops foaming and deepens a bit to a light golden color. Add the Worcestershire and garlic and whisk to combine. Add the thyme, then whisk while slowly pouring in the stock and lemonade. Whisk until reduced and thickened to gravy consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• Mix together ground chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, egg, garlic, basil, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chipotle chile powder until well combined. Press into the prepared loaf pan and top with marinara sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Sprinkle Italian cheese over top and bake until melted and bubbly, about 10 more minutes.
• Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place 3/4 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup pasta sauce in separate freezer-weight containers; place in freezer. Mix remaining mozzarella and pasta sauce with all remaining ingredients just until blended; shape into 4 loaves. Place on baking sheet. Freeze 1 hour or until firm.
• Transfer meatloaves to large freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Freeze up to 1 month.

• In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. To not over handle the mixture otherwise it will get tough. Place the mixture in the greased loaf pan and form into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with pasta sauce.
• Place filled loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese. Place the meatloaf back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving/slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Cover cheese with remaining meatloaf mixture; press around edges to seal in cheese. Spread half of the marinara sauce over top of meatloaf.
• Bake about 1 hour or until meat thermometer inserted in center of loaf reads 165°F. Cool 10 to 15 minutes.
