Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, sauté the celery and onion until the onion is just translucent, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 cup celery, 1 cup sweet onion
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, egg, panko, dried apples, poblano peppers, salt, pepper, and sautéed onions and celery. Mix gently.
1 pound ground chicken, 1 large egg, 1 cup panko bread crumbs, 4 ounces dried apples, 1 4-5 inch poblano pepper, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place in a baking dish just large enough to hold the loaf. An 11 x 7-inch baking dish works well.
Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
Spread the pickapeppa sauce over the top of the loaf, then continue baking until the internal temperature is 160°F, about 30 more minutes.
3 tablespoons Pickapeppa Sauce
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
