Chicken Meatloaf Wellington with Sun Dried Tomatoes
A fresh take on meatloaf! Made with chicken, scattered with sun dried tomatoes and the fresh burst of basil. Encase in puff pastry to create a cross between the British classic Beef Wellington and meatloaf (but made with chicken!).

Ingredients
Filling
- 1 small onion , grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 lb / 500 g ground chicken (mince) (Note 1)
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese , finely grated
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup fresh basil , roughly chopped (Note 2)
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped sun dried tomatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- black pepper
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry , thawed
- 1 egg , lightly beaten (optional) (Note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the Filling ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to mix together. It should be quite soft and wet, not dry and crumbly.
- Place the filling onto the puff pastry. Shape into a loaf and roll the puff pastry up, ending with the seam side down.
- Transfer to baking tray. Cut a few diagonal slashes across the top.
- Brush with egg wash and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pastry is deep golden brown. Turn the tray at around 25 minutes for even browning.
- Remove from the oven. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- This recipe also works well with pork. It can also be made with beef but I add extra flavourings because beef has a stronger flavour and the mince is not as wet as chicken and pork. I add: 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard, 2 tsp worschestshire sauce, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup.
- You can substitute with 2 tbsp dried basil or Italian herbs. You could also use other fresh herbs, such as parsley, oregano, thyme or a mix thereof.
- The egg wash makes the pastry more golden but this is not essential, it is for aesthetics only.
- Nutrition assuming 5 servings.
