Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to gently but thoroughly combine the ground chicken, rice, beans, scallions, bread crumbs, lime juice, jalapeños, garlic, lime peel, thyme, sage, allspice, cayenne, cinnamon and egg. 2. In a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, shape the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf, or pat it into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top. In a small saucepan or in a microwave oven, heat the jelly until melted, then spread it over the top of the loaf. 3. Bake until the loaf is firm, the top is richly browned and a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Let the meatloaf stand in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing to serve. Leftovers Make sandwiches on Italian bread spread with mayonnaise mixed with a little jalapeño jelly. Add shredded lettuce or sprouts.
