How to Make Easy Italian Chicken Loaf
- Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling uncooked chicken.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a broiler pan with a drain rack with fat-free cooking spray and set aside.
- Mince 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 cup celery, and 1/2 cup bell pepper in a food processor (or finely chop by hand).
- Gently flatten 1.5 lbs of ground chicken by hand on a cutting board.
- Add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the minced vegetable mixture, and 3 tablespoons of your favorite spaghetti sauce to the flattened chicken.
- Gently blend the chicken mixture by hand until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Form the mixture into a ball, then gently flatten it into a loaf shape. Place the loaf on the prepared drain rack.
- Top the loaf with 4 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If desired, during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, top with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and a few slices of Roma tomatoes. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the chicken loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
