Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, parsley, and paprika. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Assemble the Meatloaf
  • Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and spread the meat mixture into a rectangular shape (about ½ inch thick).
  • Layer the ham slices over the meat mixture, followed by the Swiss cheese slices.
  • Roll the Meatloaf
  • Using the parchment paper to help, gently roll the meat mixture into a loaf, sealing the edges tightly. Transfer the loaf onto a greased baking sheet or loaf pan, seam-side down.
  • Bake the Meatloaf
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Make the Sauce
  • While the meatloaf bakes, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  • Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with the creamy Dijon sauce and serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the ham and Swiss layers.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
