Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, egg, olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on the lined baking sheet. Smooth the top and sides for an even shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and garlic powder. Brush the glaze over the meatloaf.
Bake in the oven for 45–50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Optionally, broil for 2–3 minutes for extra caramelization.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

Perfect as a standalone meal or paired with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Adjust spices and glaze ingredients to your preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
