### **Instructions:**
#### **Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Meatloaf Pan**
Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Alternatively, you can form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it on a baking sheet.

#### **Step 2: Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients**
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, milk, egg, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to gently mix everything together until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a denser meatloaf.

#### **Step 3: Form the Meatloaf**
Transfer the mixture into your prepared loaf pan. Use your hands to shape it into a nice loaf. If you’re using a baking sheet, simply form the mixture into a loaf shape by hand.

**Step 4: Top with Marinara Sauce**
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf. This will not only add flavor but also keep the meatloaf moist as it cooks. If you love cheese, you can sprinkle a little extra Parmesan over the sauce for an extra cheesy finish.
