Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 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 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (optional topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (for sauce)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (for sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for sauce)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the 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, grated Parmesan, milk, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
  • On a large piece of parchment paper, press the chicken mixture into a 10×12-inch rectangle.
  • Layer the deli ham evenly over the meat mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Place Swiss cheese slices evenly over the ham.
  • Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the meatloaf from one short end to the other, jelly-roll style. Press edges to seal and place seam-side down in the prepared pan or baking sheet.
  • Mix melted butter and breadcrumbs for the topping. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. 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.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • To make the creamy Dijon sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Add Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring until thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
  • Serve sliced meatloaf with the creamy Dijon sauce.
