Justine's Chicken Spanikopita Meatloaf

Yay! Another recipe swap day has arrived.  My friend Justine chose to make a meatloaf based on Rachel Ray's Chicken Spanikopita Meatballs and it came out great.  I will definitely make this one again.

Justine's Chicken Spanikopita Meatloaf
Makes 2 meatloaves

Ingredients



2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
4 boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry.
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 egg whites, beaten
2 pound lean ground chicken
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick Montreal Seasoning)

Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


2. In a bowl combine onion, garlic and spinach.  Mix well to separate spinach.

3. Add feta, chicken and grill seasoning to the bowl and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix the meat and egg whites with veggies and feta and form two meatloaves. 


4. Bake for an hour until the juices run clear.

I so love Spanikopita. I think I made it with
spinach and, isn't there typically phyllo dough
used? Love it and your recipe looks delish.
Great job, Dawn.
