Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6-8 slices deli ham
  • 6-8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
  • Press the meat mixture into a 10×12-inch rectangle on a large piece of parchment paper.
  • Layer the slices of ham evenly over the meat mixture, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with Swiss cheese slices.
  • Carefully roll the meatloaf up using the parchment paper, jelly-roll style. Pinch the edges to seal and place seam-side down in the loaf pan or on the baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this over the top of the meatloaf and add shredded Swiss cheese if desired.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
