A Mexican flavor-inspired chicken meatloaf. Chicken makes this lower in fat than regular meatloaf, and adding pork keeps the meatloaf from tasting dry.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups herb-seasoned croutons
- 1 (12 ounce) jar salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ pound ground pork
- 1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- ¼ cup cilantro, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
Mix together croutons and salsa in a large bowl; set aside to soften, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, jalape?o pepper, and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Mix ground chicken, ground pork, pepper Jack cheese, cilantro, egg, taco seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce into crouton mixture; mash any unbroken croutons. Mix into onion mixture in the skillet, then transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
Step 5
Mix together barbecue sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Brush over meatloaf. Fold a 12-inch-long piece of aluminum foil into a tent and place over meatloaf.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove the foil tent for the last 10 minutes of baking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loaf should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Remove meatloaf from the oven, cover with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
