Ingredients
Scale
- 500g ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices deli ham
- 1 cup Swiss cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Form the Meatloaf:
- On a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, press the chicken mixture into a flat rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Lay the ham slices evenly on top, followed by the shredded or sliced Swiss cheese.
- Roll the Meatloaf:
- Starting at one end, carefully roll the meatloaf into a log shape, sealing the edges as you go. You can use the parchment paper to help with rolling. Transfer the meatloaf to a greased baking dish, seam-side down.
- Bake:
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 74°C / 165°F).
- Make the Sauce:
- While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the sauce by whisking together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey (optional). Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if you prefer.
- Serve:
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with the Dijon sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- Cheese Variations: You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different flavor.
- Add Veggies: For extra texture, add chopped spinach or sautéed mushrooms to the chicken mixture.
- Leftovers: This meatloaf makes great leftovers for sandwiches the next day!
