Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)

- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a dash of paprika or Italian seasoning.

Notes
For best results, sauté the onions to enhance sweetness and use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor. Let the meatloaf rest for better slicing.
