Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 2

Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Step 4

Mix together ground chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, egg, garlic, basil, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chipotle chile powder until well combined. Press into the prepared loaf pan and top with marinara sauce.

Step 5

Sprinkle Italian cheese over top and bake until melted and bubbly, about 10 more minutes.
