# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a loaf pan.
02 - In a large bowl, gently mix ground chicken, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and milk until just combined; avoid overmixing.
03 - Form the mixture into a loaf shape and transfer to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan.
04 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the loaf is firm.
05 - While baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Optionally add 1 minced garlic clove and sauté until fragrant. Stir in Parmesan and half the parsley, cooking until glaze thickens slightly.
06 - Remove meatloaf from oven, brush with garlic-Parmesan glaze, then return to oven for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and bubbly.
07 - Allow meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes. Slice, garnish with remaining parsley, and serve warm.
