Mediterranean chicken meatloaf. This recipe transforms traditional meatloaf into a healthier and lighter dish, all the while keeping it satisfying and absolutely delicious. Ground chicken is a nutritious alternative to beef, and the fresh vegetables, herbs, and mozzarella just add flavor. Roughly chop the chicken breast*, sundried tomatoes (drained, and if in canola oil then rinsed), olives and basil.
