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

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Form Meatloaf:
    On a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper, shape the chicken mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Add Filling:
    Evenly spread the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese over the chicken mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Roll Meatloaf:
    Carefully roll the chicken mixture into a log, pinching the edges to seal and prevent the filling from escaping.
  6. Prepare Glaze:
    In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  7. 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.
  8. Rest and Serve:
    Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
