Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare Meatloaf Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. - Form Meatloaf:
On a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper, shape the chicken mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. - Add Filling:
Evenly spread the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese over the chicken mixture, leaving a small border around the edges. - Roll Meatloaf:
Carefully roll the chicken mixture into a log, pinching the edges to seal and prevent the filling from escaping. - Prepare Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. - Bake Meatloaf:
Place the meatloaf on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meatloaf is cooked through. - Rest and Serve:
Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
