Cheesy Chicken Meatloaf

Lean chicken is used in this meatloaf giving it a savory twist to the traditional beef meatloaf. Parmesan and aged cheddar give it a sharp and cheesy flavour profile.

Ingredients:

3/4 lb ground chicken

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded sharp, old cheddar

1/3 cup chopped spinach

4 tsps minced garlic

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dry oregano

1 tsp parsley

salt and pepper to taste

1/3 cup tomato sauce

Mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, cheddar, spinach, garlic and onion together. In a separate bowl mix the egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper together then combine with the meat mixture. Form into a loaf shape and place in a baking dish larger than the meatloaf so that the sides can brown while cooking. Spoon the tomato sauce over the top and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°F. Rest 10 minutes before slicing. Served here with a scoop of russet and sweet potato mash.

Serves 4
