1. 1 lb ground chicken
2. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4. 1/4 cup milk
5. 1 large egg
6. 2 cloves garlic, minced
7. 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
8. Salt and pepper, to taste
9. 1 tbsp olive oil
10. 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
11. 1/4 cup chicken broth (or water)
12. 1/4 cup heavy cream
13. 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)
14. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
3. Form the chicken mixture into small meatloaves (about 4-6 individual loaves) and place them in the prepared baking dish or on the baking sheet.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and become tender.
5. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the mushrooms. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Pour the mushroom sauce over the formed meatloaves and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).If desired, sprinkle the meatloaves with mozzarella cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking and return to the oven to melt the cheese.
7. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
8. Enjoy these tender and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaves with a creamy mushroom sauce!

Tips and Variations

1. Don’t overmix: Mix the chicken mixture just until the ingredients come together. Overmixing can lead to dense meatloaves.
2. Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms have a more vibrant flavor and texture than canned or dried mushrooms.
3. Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
4. Try different cheeses: Experiment with other cheeses, such as mozzarella or provolone, for a unique flavor profile.
5. Make ahead: Prepare the chicken mixture and shape the meatloaves ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
