Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground chicken or sub turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce your favorite
  • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs or sub gluten free breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup white onion very finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese or about ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce for topping, divided
  • diced green onion green part only, or fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl combine chicken, egg, buffalo sauce, panko breadcrumbs, garlic, diced white onion, salt and pepper. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix until well combined.
  • Place half of the meat mixture on the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 9x5 inch rectangle. Place cheddar evenly in the middle, leaving about an ½ inch of room on the sides. Top with the remaining meat mixture, enclosing the cheese completely and sealing the sides/edges together.
  • Spread half of the buffalo sauce on top of the meatloaf (¼ cup), reserve the other half for brushing on when the meatloaf is finished baking.
  • Bake meatloaf for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. Top with remaining sauce and allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into 4 slices.
  • Top with diced green onion and serve with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing!
