2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces shredded Parmesan
3 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
2 scallions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
1 slice white bread, cut into tiny cubes
1 large egg white, whisked until frothy
1 cup pizza sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the meatloaves: Line a sheet pan with nonstick aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Add the ground chicken to a large bowl and break it up. Set aside. Combine the basil, parsley, onion, breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, pepper, cheese, garlic, scallions, bread and egg white in a medium bowl and stir until everything is blended. Add to the chicken and gently mix with your less dominant hand, turning the bowl with the dominant hand and using your fingers on the less dominant hand as a pitchfork, folding as you go, until mixed well.

  • Combine the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with the broccoli, citrus zests, garlic powder and nutmeg. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss again.
  • Add the vegetables to the sheet pan with the meatloaves by placing the sweet potatoes on first, surrounding the meatloaves, then pouring over the broccoli. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove and brush the meatloaves with the topping. Spritz the vegetables with juice from the orange and lemon wedges. Continue to bake until the internal temperature of the meatloaves registers 165 degrees F, about another 15 minutes.
