 Ingredients:

For the Meatloaf:

 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 1/2 cup finely diced onion
 3 cloves garlic, minced
 1 large egg
 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
 1 teaspoon salt
 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

 1/4 cup unsalted butter
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
 Salt and pepper, to taste
 Directions:

 Prepare the Meatloaf:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf shape. Alternatively, you can shape it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if you prefer a crispier exterior.
 Bake the Meatloaf:

Drizzle the top of the meatloaf with olive oil to help it brown.
Bake the meatloaf for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the meatloaf is cooked through.
 Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

While the meatloaf is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in fresh parsley.
 Serve:

Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the warm garlic Parmesan sauce over the top of the meatloaf slices before serving. Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
