Chicken Meatloaf Recipe:

1 Bell Pepper, diced
1 Medium Onion, diced
2 lb Ground Chicken ?
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 c Old Fashioned BBQ Sauce, divided
1 c Plain Bread Crumbs
2 Eggs

Easy Barbecue Meatloaf with Ground Chicken

Preheat oven to 375℉

Prepare a sheet pan by covering with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. Since the chicken is a leaner meat, it tends to stick if the surface isn’t lightly coated.

In a mixing bowl – combine the bell pepper, onion, ground chicken, seasonings, bread crumbs, eggs and 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce.

I find the best way to mix everything for a meatloaf is to get my hands dirty and dig in! Smoosh and mash until everything is thoroughly mixed together. I know it’s icky but somebody’s got to do it.

Remove meat mixture from the mixing bowl and form into a loaf on the sheet pan.

Place into the oven and bake for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the meatloaf and brush the top of the meatloaf with the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce.

Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
