Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan.
- Mix the croutons with salsa in a large bowl, and set aside to soften, about 15 minutes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the jalapeno pepper, onion, and garlic until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Mix the ground chicken, ground pork, egg, taco seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, pepperjack cheese, and cilantro into the crouton mixture, and mash any unbroken croutons. Mix in the cooked onion mixture. Transfer the meatloaf into the prepared loaf pan. Mix the barbecue sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, and brush the barbecue sauce mixture over the loaf. Fold a 12-inch long piece of aluminum foil into a tent, and place the foil tent over the loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and the loaf is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. Remove foil tent for last 10 minutes of baking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover the loaf with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

SALSA CHICKEN
When I was doing Weight Watchers and the boys were home, I got really tired of fixing 3 sets of meals each night. When I came upon this recipe - I just didn't tell them this was WW and to this day they still don't know. When the boys come home now - this is one dish they will request. Super fast & easy to fix on work nights. 4 oz. = 4 WW points (without rice) *Note - in response to some reviews that experience the sauce being too runny or thin...extend the reduction time (after removing lid). It may take another 5-10 minutes to thicken and have the consistency you desire. **Use any diet cola you like. Back when this recipe was given to me (early 1970s) Diet Coca Cola was the only Diet soda around and the scares were not out like today (2018)To this day I call any Diet Soda - Coke.

Steps:
- In 12 inch skillet, cook chicken over medium high heat in UNSEASONED pan (do NOT spray with PAM or add any oil or butter).
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chicken will stick a bit to skillet when turning but that is ok.
- Cook till just brown- you want a bit of color.
- Add the entire jar of Salsa and the can of Diet Coke.
- Reduce heat to medium low- and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, covered.
- Remove lid, turn chicken and continue to simmer until sauce has thickened to desired consistency.
- When ready to serve, squeeze juice from 1 fresh lime over the chicken.
- I serve this over yellow rice (I just add turmeric to my rice when cooking- adds nice bright yellow color!).
- Do not use regular Coke as this will turn out too sweet.
- I promise--you cannot taste the Diet Coke.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground chicken. For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of white and dark meat ground chicken. If you can only find one type, white meat will give you a leaner meatloaf, while dark meat will be more flavorful.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough, so mix it just until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Use a flavorful salsa. The salsa is what gives this meatloaf its unique flavor, so choose one that you love. If you like spicy food, use a medium or hot salsa. If you prefer milder flavors, use a mild salsa or even a salsa verde.
- Add some shredded cheese. Shredded cheese is a great way to add extra flavor and moisture to the meatloaf. You can use any type of cheese you like, but cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper Jack are all good choices.
- Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan. A loaf pan will help the meatloaf hold its shape while it bakes. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Once the meatloaf is done baking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Salsa chicken meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It's perfect for a busy family or anyone who loves Mexican-inspired flavors. With its combination of ground chicken, salsa, cheese, and spices, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook ground chicken, give this salsa chicken meatloaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
