This is a healthier alternative to a regular meatloaf. The layered effect, using roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and Monterey Jack cheese, not only adds flavour but is beautiful when sliced.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line the bottom and
sides of a 9- × 5-inch loaf pan with foil or parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic, egg, onion, ketchup, dried basil and salt and pepper until well mixed. Pat half the chicken mixture into the
prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with the green onions, red pepper and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix the Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheeses and add all but 2 Tbsp of the cheese mixture to the loaf. Pat the remaining chicken mixture over the filling. Bake for 40 minutes or until the interior temperature reaches 165°F. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Let stand for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
