You will give the deli people a run for their money with this rolled chicken meatloaf. It's cheap, relatively easy, and everyone loves it.
2 chicken breasts minced or ready made chicken mince (500gms total)
2 eggs
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (plus 1 cup extra)
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons chopped dried fruit (raisins, apricots, mango or pistachio nuts or macadamias if you prefer or even both!)
2 tbspns chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, thyme)
baking paper
Mix the mince, 1 egg, the milk, 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs, and the fresh herbs.
Take a sheet of baking paper and spread the mixture over the paper in a large rectangle about 20 x 30cms.
Mix the other cup of breadcrumbs, the dried fruit and/or nuts, and the second egg. Spread this down the long side of the mince rectangle, closest to you.
Using the baking paper to start the roll, enclose the stuffing and then roll into a long sausage shape, finishing with the 'seam' underneath (it's a bit like rolling sushi or a swiss roll sponge). Press the ends together.
Place, seam down on a baking sheet, and bake at 180 C covered for 35 mins, then remove cover and bake for a further 10 mins.
Serve sliced with relish or sweet chilli sauce, salad and crunchy bread
