Description
A flavorful twist on traditional meatloaf, combining ground chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese for a delicious dinner option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces ham, diced
- 4 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface and transfer the meat mixture onto it. Shape the mixture into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
- In the center of the meat rectangle, spread the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise evenly. Layer the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese on top of the mustard and mayonnaise.
- Using the plastic wrap, carefully roll the meatloaf away from you, encasing the filling inside. Pinch the ends to seal.
- Place the rolled meatloaf seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute ground turkey for ground chicken.
- You can also add chopped spinach or broccoli to the filling for added nutrition.
- For a twist, try using pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
