GREEK CHICKEN MEATLOAF WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE

Greek Chicken Meatloaf With Tzatziki Sauce image

The low-cal meatloaf is a different approach to a Greek dinner. Add other herbs of your choice, if desired. BTW, are the left-overs ever so delish in a pita with the sauce. Makes me drool in anticipation! (I always double the sauce for the Gyros) Adapted from Southern Living.
