Greek Chicken Meatloaf {with Spinach & Feta}
I’m rather proud of our Greek Chicken Meatloaf with Spinach & Feta recipe.
We use ground chicken, which on its own is fairly bland. No worries. Here’s how we bring full blown flavor to this dish.
Jump to RecipeI am a self proclaimed lover of all meatloaves and meatballs. I can’t recall a meat-loaf combination that I didn’t love.
There’s something about mixing savory aromatics, select seasonings, and fine diced veggies with meat protein. Doesn’t have to be ‘meat’ as we know it. I love a great nutloaf or mushroom/veggie combo.
Our Greek Chicken Meatloaf with Spinach & Feta incorporates classic Mediterranean flavors like fresh oregano, lemon zest, garlic and pungent feta cheese.
Trust me. This meatloaf can handle all of these punchy flavors and might be as good leftover as it is on day one.
We’re talking a super easy to make recipe that your entire family will love!
Serve this meatloaf with Greek Style Potatoes and a nice bright Greek Salad and you’ll achieve hero status! Grab your cape. You deserve it!

Loved this!! So moist and delicious. Any nutritional info on it though?

I enjoyed this very much, and even more the next day in a pita. I exchanged bok choy leaves, the green part, for spinach because I am allergic to spinach. It is a great alternative. I used vegan feta from Trader Joes. It gives it a nice texture, but I suspect feta would carry a little more flavor in a meatloaf. I agree, there’s much variety in feta. Some are quite sharp. Others not so much. I’ll definitely be making it again.

Did not enjoy the flavour combination. Feta cheese was bitter/sour tasting. Maybe better with mozarrella. I won’t know because won’t make it again. Waste of ingredients!!
Libby Zappala
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this Roz. Perhaps it was the brand of feta – their ‘tang’ can vary greatly. It’s a family favorite for us.
Robert
Delicious as is but …Add black olives quartered…
libby
I love black olives! I bet that’s amazing!!

Hello!
My daughter is allergic to eggs, any suggestions on replacing the egg or skipping it all together?
libby
You can replace with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.
Lisa
I made this as instructed and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely make again.
Megan
Have you ever made it using frozen spinach? I have a partial bag of frozen I need to use up and wonder if it would change the final result?
Kimberly speziake
Can this be made without the breadcrumbs? Like a low card version?
libby
Sure! The breadcrumbs act as a binder but should be fine without.
Margaret
I made mine with oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs to lower the glycemic index scale on it.
libby
I bet that’s delicious!
Angie
So good! I added artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. Honey asked that I make it again next week!
Rita
SO Delicious! I added extra spinach, 1/4 jar of Sundried Tomatoes, Parmesan and Mozarella Cheese instead of Feta Cheese, Fresh Italian Parsley instead of Fresh Oregano, Lemon Juice and no lemon zest. Also, Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs (2 slices of bread toasted well done, then used Vita Mix Blender to make bread crumbs). I didn’t have Mrs. Dash Garlic Herb & Seasoning, so I substituted with Onion Powder, Garlic Powder and Italian Spice. This meal was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!!
Linda

I think you’re in for a real treat Beverley. Ground chicken loves all the flavor you throw at it. Add you’re favorite seasonings.
Beverley
what a way to start the new year! I’ve never used ground chicken so it all sounds exciting xoxo
