– **1/2 cup breadcrumbs**
– **1/4 cup finely chopped parsley**
– **3 garlic cloves, minced**
– **1 egg, beaten**
– **1 tsp dried oregano**
– **1/2 tsp salt**
– **1/4 tsp black pepper**
– **1/4 cup milk**
– **2 tbsp olive oil**
– **1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese (optional)**

#### **Instructions:**

**1. Preheat Oven:**

– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

**2. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:**

– In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
– Add the milk to the mixture and combine thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

**3. Shape and Bake:**

– Shape the mixture into four mini loaves and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
– Drizzle olive oil over the top of each loaf for added flavor and moisture.
– Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 165°F (74°C).

**4. Add Optional Cheese Topping:**

– If desired, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top of the loaves during the last 5 minutes of baking to melt.

**5. Serve:**

– Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

### **Tips for Success:**

– **Check Doneness:** Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaves are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
– **Rest the Meatloaves:** Allowing the meatloaves to rest for a few minutes after baking helps retain their juices and makes them easier to slice.
– **Serving Suggestions:** Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
