Here is a great way to use ground chicken. The apples
keep it from drying out while the herbs lend flavor. INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup minced onion
2 diced, unpeeled Golden Delicious apples
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1/4 tsp dried savory
2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp grated lemon rind
2 green onions, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1-1/2 pounds ground chicken
1/2 cup applesauce
2 Tbsp dry bread crumbs
1 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar PREPARATION:
In large skillet, melt butter over med heat. Cook onion, apples and garlic,
stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until golden.
Add tarragon and savory, cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes.
In large bowl, combine apple mixture, bread crumbs, eggs, lemon rind,
green onions, salt, and pepper. Gently mix in chicken. Lightly pack into
greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, smoothing top.
Spread top of loaf with applesauce. Combine crumbs and sugar, sprinkle
evenly over top.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1-1/4 hours, until cooked through. Broil
3 minutes, about 6 inches from heat.
