Instructions

Step 1

Melt some butter in a pan and sauté chopped onions until they become soft and see-through. Add minced garlic and cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, an egg, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, soy sauce, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well until it’s all blended.

Step 3

Grease a baking tray with a little oil, shape the mixture into a loaf, and place it on the tray. Bake it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 50 to 60 minutes.

Step 4

While the meatloaf is baking, mix together brown sugar, tomato ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl.

Step 5

When the meatloaf is almost done, spread the sauce evenly over the top and pop it back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Step 6

Once it’s cooked through and the sauce is nice and sticky, take it out, let it rest a bit, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
