Introduction
If you’re craving a comfort‑food classic that feels a little more elevated, this juicy garlic Parmesan chicken meatloaf with herbed crust and creamy finish delivers big on flavour and texture. Imagine tender ground chicken infused with garlic and Parmesan, a crisp herbed crust on top, and a silky creamy sauce to finish it off. I first made this when I wanted something more than your everyday meatloaf—and the result was melt‑in‑your‑mouth good.
Why You’ll Love This Dish
Succulent ground chicken packed with garlic & Parmesan
Ground chicken keeps the dish lean yet juicy, and the flavour combo of garlic and Parmesan gives it a rich, savory profile that stands out.
Herbed crust adds texture, creamy finish elevates it
The crust gives a satisfying bite and visual appeal. Then you drizzle a creamy finish (or sauce) that brings it all together—like a restaurant dish at home.
