Chicken Meatloaf Squares

My kids like meatballs but I was too lazy to roll them, so now we have another meatloaf recipe instead. Or maybe we could call these meatsquares? Is that weird?

I was also too lazy to chop so I used a mini food processor to do the work for me. It's just faster than using a knife and gets the veggies really small.

I saw a post on Pinterest about putting ground meat into a large bag and dividing it into squares. So I placed my meat mixture onto the baking sheet and used a wooden spatula to divide it into squares before cooking. The squares came apart really easily once they were cooked. And this recipe is delicious by the way!

Here they are all cooked.

Chicken Meatloaf Squares

Adapted from Our Kitchen Island

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup Panko
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used Tex Mex blend)
• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 1/2 medium onion, minced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, minced
• 6 medium sized button mushrooms, minced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1lb extra lean ground chicken

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, except for the chicken. Once combined, you can mix in the chicken.
3. Press the mixture onto a foil lined baking sheet. I flattened mine to about 1/2". Try to get it even.
4. Use a flat object to make indents into the mixture, creating little squares (or big ones if you want).
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
