Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese, cut into 4 equal pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, pesto, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly, place one piece of provolone in the center, and shape the meat around the cheese to fully enclose it.
  • Place the formed meatloaves on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F and the cheese inside has melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving.

merknader

Form the meatloaves gently to avoid compressing the mixture, which keeps the texture light. These pair well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables on the side. Leftovers reheat nicely in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes to restore crisp edges without drying out the centers.
