    <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
    • Prep the Slow Cooker:<\/strong> Line the base of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker with a strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper to create a "sling" with handles extending up the sides. Lightly coat the inside and sling with nonstick cooking spray.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Combine Ingredients:<\/strong> In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and \u00bc cup of the shredded mozzarella. Let sit for 2 minutes to absorb the liquid.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Shape the Meatloaf:<\/strong> Add the ground chicken to the bowl. Gently mix with your hands or a fork until just combined\u2014do not overmix. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and shape into a compact, oval loaf over the foil sling, leaving space around the edges for heat to circulate.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Slow Cook:<\/strong> Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours (or HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf registers 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Melt Cheese & Rest:<\/strong> Top the meatloaf with the remaining \u00bc cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let sit on warm for 5 to 10 minutes until melted. Use the foil sling to carefully lift the meatloaf out onto a cutting board. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
