Sorry it took so long to post this but it is worth the wait!!! I hope anyone who makes it enjoys it as much as I do and the others who have tried it. My Dad who is in his 70's absolutely loved it and was shocked when I told him it was made with chicken.
BASIL MUSHROOM CHICKEN LOAF Super, super YUMMY
Non-stick Spray 2 cups sliced mushrooms (I use button.) 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced (I love garlic. You can put less.) 1 1/2 tsp. dried basil 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan Cheese (I use low-fat Kraft in plastic container.) 1 egg, beaten 1 1/2 lb ground chicken **** ***I use a combination of ground chicken and ground turkey. Specifically 1/2 of a pkg. ground chicken that weighed .390 kg. And 1/2 of a pkg. of ground turkey that weighed .500 kg. I swear it is the combo of the two that yields the yummiest results. 2 tbsp. chili sauce
Spray skillet with no stick spray and heat over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, onion, garlic and basil stirring for about 3 mins. or until softened.
In bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, egg and onion mixture from skillet, ground chicken (and/or turkey) and chili sauce. Mix well. Pat and shape into a loaf pan.
Bake in 350 F oven for 1 hour and 20 mins. or until meat thermometer registers 185 F (85 C).
