Chicken And Ham Loaf
 
2 cups chicken (cooked and diced)
1 sandwich loaf
5 Tbsp butter
2 onions (chopped)
200 gms. mushrooms sliced thinly
1 tsp. parsley chopped
1 cup ham diced
1/2 cup bacon diced
1/4 tsp thyme
salt and pepper to taste
 
Cut a 1 inch slice off the top of the loaf and carefully pull out
the  soft bread inside. Use for making bread crumbs. Leave 1/2 inch
inner lining of bread to preserve this shape. Melt 4 Tbsp of the
butter and brush this on to the loaf inside and out. Replace the
lid and put the loaf on a baking tray and bake for 10 mins at
400 Deg F. Leave to cool. Cook the onions in the remaining butter
until soft, add the mushroom and  cook for further 2 mins. Stir in
the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix together the bacon,
ham and 3 Tbsp of bread crumbs, stir in thyme  and season to taste.
Press half the ham mixture well down into the loaf case, cover with
half  the onion and mushroom mixture.  Arrange the chicken on top
and cover with the onion mixture and a final  layer of ham mixture.
Replace the lid and wrap the loaf in foil. Bake in the oven at 375
F for 45 mins. Serve the loaf hot or cold, cut into thick slices.
