Salsa Chicken Meatloaf Recipes

SALSA CHICKEN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan.
• Mix the croutons with salsa in a large bowl, and set aside to soften, about 15 minutes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the jalapeno pepper, onion, and garlic until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Mix the ground chicken, ground pork, egg, taco seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, pepperjack cheese, and cilantro into the crouton mixture, and mash any unbroken croutons. Mix in the cooked onion mixture. Transfer the meatloaf into the prepared loaf pan. Mix the barbecue sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, and brush the barbecue sauce mixture over the loaf. Fold a 12-inch long piece of aluminum foil into a tent, and place the foil tent over the loaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and the loaf is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. Remove foil tent for last 10 minutes of baking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover the loaf with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

SALSA CHICKEN

Steps:

• In 12 inch skillet, cook chicken over medium high heat in UNSEASONED pan (do NOT spray with PAM or add any oil or butter).
• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
• Chicken will stick a bit to skillet when turning but that is ok.
• Cook till just brown- you want a bit of color.
• Add the entire jar of Salsa and the can of Diet Coke.
• Reduce heat to medium low- and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, covered.
• Remove lid, turn chicken and continue to simmer until sauce has thickened to desired consistency.
• When ready to serve, squeeze juice from 1 fresh lime over the chicken.
• I serve this over yellow rice (I just add turmeric to my rice when cooking- adds nice bright yellow color!).
• Do not use regular Coke as this will turn out too sweet.
• I promise--you cannot taste the Diet Coke.
