Ingredients
Ground chicken: Brings a lighter twist than classic beef or pork and keeps each bite super juicy. Look for ground chicken with a bit of dark meat for best flavor.
Parmesan cheese: Adds a salty savory punch and pairs perfectly with chicken. Go for freshly grated if you can for maximum meltiness.
Panko breadcrumbs: Help the loaf stay tender not dense. Japanese style panko gives that delicate crumb.
Large eggs: Bind everything together so the loaf holds its shape when sliced.
Fresh garlic and garlic powder: Double up the rich garlicky essence. Plump firm cloves give the best taste.
Onion powder: Delivers mellow sweetness and a hint of umami.
Dried basil and dried parsley: Bring subtle herb notes that balance richness. Choose vibrant green dried herbs that still smell fresh.
Salt and black pepper: Season every layer for depth and contrast.
Whole milk: Ensures the mixture stays moist and tender as it bakes.
Butter in the glaze: Adds creamy luxury and golden color.
Garlic Parmesan glaze: Poured over the top adds a final lush finish and keeps things extra flavorful. Use Italian flat-leaf parsley for garnish for bright color and taste.
