Description

These Chicken Parm Mini Meatloaf Muffins are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Perfectly portioned and bursting with flavor, these mini meatloaves are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Juicy ground chicken mixed with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings, topped with marinara sauce and gooey mozzarella, these mini meatloaves are baked to perfection in a muffin tin.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Mini Meatloaves:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Assembly and Baking:

  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  2. Mix the Meatloaf: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  3. Fill the Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the mixture among the muffin cups, pressing gently to fill each well. Use the back of a spoon to slightly indent the tops.
  4. Add Sauce and Bake: Spoon a tablespoon of marinara sauce over each mini meatloaf, then bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Top with Cheese: Remove from the oven, top each with shredded mozzarella, and return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the meatloaves reach 165°F internally.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve with spaghetti, roasted veggies, or on a slider bun for a fun twist.
