Chicken Meatloaf

2 lb. ground chicken
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 cup tomato sauce
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup melted butter for basting


Preheat oven to 350°.

In a large bowl, mix together chicken, bread crumbs, and onion.

In a small bowl, beat eggs. Add tomato sauce and mix well.

Pour egg mixture into ground chicken mixture, add salt and pepper, and mix well.

Pat chicken mixture into a 9 X 5 loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour, basing occasionally with melted butter.

Remove loaf from oven and pour off liquid. Let rest for a few minutes, then turn out onto serving platter.

I thinki would add a lot of seasoning to this since chicken is bland without it...will try it!

Great idea, and lower fat. Ground turkey works well, too. You inspired me to make a meat loaf last night (though I admit, I used a pound of ground beef I'd gotten on sale and had in the freezer).
