Step 1
Chop 750g of chicken into small pieces.
Step 2
In a big bowl, combine the chicken with chopped onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, a splash of milk, frozen peas, salt, pepper, oregano, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix everything together really well.
Step 3
Grease a cake tin or loaf pan so the meatloaf doesn’t stick.

Spoon the chicken mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 5
Pop it in the oven and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 25-30 minutes, until it’s cooked through.
Step 6
Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a bit before slicing and serving.
