Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a loaf pan with a bit of olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, sautéed spinach, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Using clean hands or a spatula, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to create an even surface.
Step 7
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the top is golden brown.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm, or let it cool completely for easy meal prepping!
