Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Large rimmed baking sheet or loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • ¼ cup 1% milk
  • 2 lbs organic ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning mix or 1-ounce packet Simply Organic Ranch Dressing Mix
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup franks hot sauce
  • ½ cup blue cheese salad dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Then, mix the bread and milk in a large bowl until it forms into a paste.
  • Add the ground chicken, ranch seasoning, eggs, and bread crumbs to the bread paste. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir the hot sauce and blue cheese dressing—Reserve 1/4 cup of the hot sauce mixture for glazing the top of the meatloaf.
  • Pour the rest of the hot sauce mixture into the chicken mixture. Mix everything.
  • Place meat mixture onto a prepared baking sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray and form a loaf.
  • Brush the remaining hot sauce mixture over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Place the meatloaf into the oven and cook for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • Let the meatloaf sit for 3-4 minutes, then slice and serve. Garnish with crumbled blue cheese and green onion.

Notes

Make-ahead and storage tips
  • Cook the meatloaf completely, slice, place into airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I find it helpful to portion the meatloaf with rice and veggie into separate containers to make individual lunches or dinners for the week. You can see more tips in this meal prep bowls post.
  • Assemble the ingredients, place the loaf onto a plate with plastic wrap, and store up to 2 days in the fridge. On cooking day, remove the plastic wrap, place the meatloaf onto a baking sheet, and continue with cooking instructions. You might need to add extra cooking time if the meatloaf is very cold.
  • Freeze the meatloaf, either cooked or raw, for future meals. For more information, check out this freeze meatloaf tutorial I put together.
