Name of Recipe:Mini chicken & vegetable loaves
Number of People: Made 26
Ingredients:
small quantity of sweet chilli sauce and/or chutney
120g carrot, cut into 5 cm pieces
190g potato, cut into 5 cm pieces
160g pumpkin, cut into 5cm chunks
130g frozen, canned or fresh corn
45g sachet low salt Chicken Noodle Soup Mix
1 egg
10 chives cut into 5 cm lengths
3 small spring onions or 2 large, cut into 5cm lengths
500g chicken mince
S & P to taste
Spray a 12 hole mini loaf tin or a 24 hole mini muffin tin with oil.
This is optional - place a teaspoon of sweet chilli sauce or chutney into the bottom of each pan or leave plain for children. I make a selection of all options.
Preheat oven to 180C
Chop the carrot 3 sec/speed 5 - place into a large bowl.
Chop the potato 2 sec/speed 5 - add to bowl.
Chop the pumpkin 3 sec/speed 5 - add to bowl.
Add the corn straight into the bowl along with the chicken noodle soup mix.
Beat the egg 5 sec/speed 5 and add to the bowl.
Place chives & spring onions into the bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7 - add to the bowl.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Add the mince meat to the other ingredients and using your fingers (no other way works as good) mix all the ingredients together.
Fill the tins to the top, pressing down firmly with a spoon.
Bake for 30 minutes for the loaf tins or 25 minutes for the mini muffin tins.
Tips/Hints:
You can substitute chicken with turkey mince.
You can form them into small finger food patties (makes heaps) or large ones for hamburger buns (makes 10-12).
They taste even better when cold so would be ideal for children's lunch boxes.
Original recipe from a turkey pamphlet many years ago.
Suggestions form other forum members.
McMich-made one big loaf and sprinkled breadcrumbs and cheese on top. Cook for about 70minutes.
Luel-I did add/change somethings which worked very well: I only had a small packet of cream of chicken soup so used that, I also had some left over basil pesto dip, threw that in, wizzed up a handful of basil and the same of cashews, speed 7, 6 seconds and threw that in with the mix. This worked great. They were delish cold served with some baby spinach, capsicum jam, grated cheese and cucumber.
Amy-made the mixture as a slice.
Jai9-Made this for dinner tonight, with a few substitutions based on what was in the fridge, a capsicum and half a bag of spinach instead of the potato and corn. Also added half a block of feta and used onion salt and stock powder instead of the soup mix

Thanks for this Judy. I'm sure my boys will love these so I will make them for school lunches next week.
-
Wow Judy, these look absolutely fantastic, and I can see them becoming a regular in my daughter's lunchbox (and mine :)) Thank you so much for sharing.
-
Lovely tasty recipe JD.I like the idea of eating them cold ;)
-
Thanks Judy, another lovely one to add to the pile.
-
I'll be making these for DS to take to school. Thanks Judydawn :-* :-*
-
Crown Prince will love these
:)
-
If you want them even tastier Hally, panfry them as little fritters.
-
Good tip, thanks JD :)
Need to buy some chicken mince, but am going to make a batch.
H :)
-
Don't ever buy it Hally. Make it.
-
Looks good jd 😊
Thx for the recipe...will try these out this week..
-
These look delicious. They will be on the menu of DD birthday brunch.
-
Hi Judy. I have made a few batches of these now. My boys love them. I keep them in the freezer and pop a couple in their lunch boxes and they are perfect when they come to eat them. They help keep the lunch cold too. :)
-
These are on my list to make for cp lunches.
Cookie, i have chicken breasts in the freezer, will they mince ok?
H :)
-
Moo2, glad to hear they are enjoyed for school lunches.
Hally, yes you can mince chicken breasts.
-
Thanks JD,
Partially frozen & turbo a coupe of times.
H :)
-
Yes, something like that ;D Just keep an eye on it. I can get chicken breast mince so cheap it doesn't pay me to do my own anymore although I have done so in the past.
-
I made one big loaf out of this recipe. Sprinkled some bread crumbs and cheese on top and baked for 70mins.
Have sliced it up and put it in the freezer so we have easy lunches for work.
I minced chicken breast for this also (a first for me) it turned out quite well. Wouldn't really bother again I just didn't have any
chicken mince at hand.
-
I love the way your loaf shows all the colours of the vegies mcmich.
-
Great idea to do them as one big one. I'll do that next time.
-
The big one looks lovely. I need small ones for lunches.
Was going to do this but I had already defrosted the chicken, so I cant mince it now. Never mind. Next week.
I took out quite a bit of meat on sunday which I need to use & its 37 today.

Made these today for a picnic we were planning for dinner down at the foreshore. It's been a while since i did any shopping, so was looking for a recipe that I had everything for - found it with this one.
I did add/change somethings which worked very well: I only had a small packet of cream of chicken soup so used that, I also had some left over basil pesto dip, threw that in, wizzed up a handful of basil and the same of cashews, speed 7, 6 seconds and threw that in with the mix. This worked great. They were delish cold served with some baby spinach, capsicum jam, grated cheese and cucumber.
-
Great to see the variations worked well Luel, nice to be able to make something without having to run to the supermarket. It's almost like a free meal isn't it? Sometimes you need 1 ingredient and end up spending much more so best to not have to go there at all.
-
sounds good for lunch boxes, thanks,
Robyn :)
-
Just bumping this recipe ....... looks wonderful!
Does anyone have an alternative for chicken noodle soup mix - something similar to the french onion soup mix recipe on here?
-
Maybe teninas dry chicken stock powder with some dried noodles mixed up?? Or look online for a recipe (dried chicken soup mix) ??
-
This (http://www.ellenskitchen.com/pantry/mixes1.html#noodle) website has some recipes for dry soup mixes Karen.
-
Thats wonderful thanks Judy :-*. Am making these today for the kids lunches. When it is this hot, something cold in the lunchbox is definitely the go!
-
thanks for bumping, yum
-
I made these today also and it will definitely become a regular feature in this house for DS3. I love it that there's more than 50% veggies in them. For tonight, I served these with a side dish of creamy pasta carbonara. DH enjoyed them too and said it reminded him of some turkey patties his Mum used to make.
Thanks for another great recipe Judy.
-
Glad you enjoyed them and DH too LOL.
-
These are certainly a favourite here, too, Judy. And I don't know how I missed that site on the Dry Soup Mixes up until now! Thank you!! :-* :-*
-
I made this recipe for our dinner tonight and I loved it :D I cooked the mixture as a slice and served it with wedges, peas and gravy. Yummy! :D :D
I didn't have any pumpkin so I used cauliflower instead ;)
Thanks Judy, yet another winning recipe! ;D
-
I guess any vegies would work and the idea of a slice is a great one for adults. Thanks
Hally Amy, I'm glad you liked it.
-
Thanks Judy... but I'm Amy ;D
-
Clever idea....AMY ;) ;D
-
:D :D I knew that but I must have had Hally on my mind. Sorry Amy :-* :-*
-
That's okay Judy, I knew you knew :D :D :-*
Thanks Kimmy ;D ;D
-
Well I did say earlier that there were some confused people on here tonight so I just joined them :D
-
Contagious Confusion is terrible thing :D :D
Judy, I just wanted to let you know that I sliced some of the leftovers today and we had it in toasted sandwiches with cheese. It was really really yummy, a great way to use up the leftovers :D
-
It sounds like it keeps on keeping on Amy :D
-
It sure does Judy, and I still have a slice left to do something with for my lunch today :D
-
These are wonderful. I cut them in half and toasted under the grill then just to be a little bit naughty spread a tad of butter on. Yum! Sonia x
-
A good way to reheat leftovers sonbri, thanks for posting your first comment on our forum. Why not go over to the home page and in Introduce Yourself post a bit about yourself, how long you've had your TMX etc so that our members can formally welcome you.
-
Sonia, great idea! I bet they would be good with grilled cheese too :D
-
I have only just found this. I have been looking for ideas for DW's lunch. She is like feeding a child sometimes so I am hoping she will like the plain version of these.
-
Good luck Den :-)) ;) ;D
-
Lol Den. Good luck, and I hope she doesn't read the forum;)
-
Made this for dinner tonight, with a few substitutions based on what was in the fridge, a capsicum and half a bag of spinach instead of the potato and corn. Also added half a block of feta and used onion salt and stock powder instead of the soup mix. It was delicious and so easy. Dh and I are fighting who gets to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
-
Nice one jai, love seeing people substitute when they don't have all the ingredients. ;D.
-
Do you think I would be able to slice this if I made it in a regular loaf tin, or would it fall apart?
-
It should slice easily. I'm sure someone has made it as a loaf.
I've re-read all the postings and yes, it has successfully been made into a loaf Sleeping Lions.
-
Have these in the oven now.. Didnt have chicken noodle soup so just mixed some spices etc with some stock paste and had a packet of noodles so threw that in the mix and put in two eggs instead of one.. Didnt have pumpkin so left it out...will report back on what we all thought of them..
-
Thumbs up from all jd.. Dh said he really likes them.. Dd said they are so yummy as did ds.. From me too very tasty.. Could see these as others have mentioned cold on a picnic .. Thankyou for the recipe x

Thanks Kim, glad the whole family liked them. It's hard sometimes to find things everyone enjoys. What have you served them with, is that Creme fraiche or mayo?
-
Sour cream or creme fraichewould work too ... just a teaspoon on top of sweet chilli sauce.. I covered the bottom of the pans with a thick layer of chilli sauce.. Went together nicely... Dd isthe most difficult with food at the moment so the fact she hoovered them down is a plus... Everyone else was just a bonus xx
-
Bumping.... These are wonderful !! :)
-
Cleaned out a variety of veg bits and pieces from the crisper tonight and made 8 mini loaves. Don't use dry soup mixes so used a teaspoon of veg stock concentrate instead. Added some bits of feta and I can't remember what else. Shame cos they were delicious :'( :'( They all went in a flash! Poor DH missed out again ;D Thanks Judy.
-
Poor DH Gayle. This recipe is open to versatility, thanks for the review.
