Chicken meatloaf with white wine and vegetables is a delightful twist on the classic comfort food that combines the rich flavors of chicken thighs, aromatic vegetables, and a touch of white wine. This recipe results in a moist and flavorful meatloaf that is sure to become a family favorite. The addition of gouda cheese and fresh herbs enhances the taste, while the white wine adds a subtle complexity. Perfect for a comforting dinner or any special occasion, this dish brings together a medley of wholesome ingredients to create a nourishing and delicious meal.
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and 1 tsp of salt. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, add ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, shredded gouda cheese, chopped fresh parsley, Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, black pepper, the remaining 1.5 tsp of salt, and the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Fold in the finely chopped celery and carrots into the chicken mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a loaf pan, shape the chicken mixture into a loaf shape.
- Carefully pour the white wine around the meatloaf. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and add flavor during cooking.
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful and easier to slice.
- Slice the meatloaf and serve warm. Pair with your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Use fresh chicken thighs, but make sure to grind or finely chop them for a smoother texture.
- Sauté the vegetables (onion, garlic, celery, and carrots) in the butter and vegetable oil until they are softened and slightly caramelized for added depth of flavor.
- Let the vegetable mixture cool before combining it with the chicken and other ingredients to ensure an even mixture.
- If you prefer a slightly firmer meatloaf, you can increase the amount of bread crumbs or add a second egg.
- Feel free to use other cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella if gouda is not available.
- Make sure to check the doneness of the meatloaf with a meat thermometer; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
