Why This Recipe Is So Loved

A lighter take on a classic comfort food. It combines the rich flavors of ground chicken with herbs and spices for a moist, tender result. It's perfect for those looking for a hearty meal without the heaviness of beef.

Helpful Kitchen Tips

- Use ground chicken with a bit of fat for juiciness.
- Avoid overmixing the ingredients to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing to hold its shape.

Step 1

Chop 750g of chicken into small pieces.

Step 2

In a big bowl, combine the chicken with chopped onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, a splash of milk, frozen peas, salt, pepper, oregano, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix everything together really well.

Step 3

Grease a cake tin or loaf pan so the meatloaf doesn’t stick.

Step 4

Spoon the chicken mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

Pop it in the oven and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 25-30 minutes, until it’s cooked through.

Step 6

Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a bit before slicing and serving.

Serving Combinations

Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad also pairs well to add color and crunch. Don’t forget a drizzle of your favorite sauce or gravy for extra flavor.

How To Refrigerate This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
