Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf (Printable Format)

Ground chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese baked into a savory, golden loaf with creamy Dijon topping.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Meatloaf Base

01 - 2 pounds ground chicken
02 - 1 cup plain or seasoned breadcrumbs
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1/2 cup whole milk
05 - 1 small onion, finely diced
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
08 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
11 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley

→ Filling

12 - 6 slices Swiss cheese, or provolone or mozzarella
13 - 6 slices deli ham

→ Topping (optional)

14 - 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
15 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
16 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried parsley. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are incorporated, but avoid overmixing.
03 - Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
04 - Arrange the deli ham slices in a single layer over the chicken. Next, layer the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham.
05 - Distribute the remaining chicken mixture evenly over the cheese and ham filling. Press gently to seal the edges to prevent the cheese from escaping during baking.
06 - Bake on the center rack for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F (74°C).
07 - In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. In the final 5 minutes of baking, spread the Dijon-mayo mixture over the surface of the meatloaf and evenly sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top. Return to oven until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For smooth slicing, allow the meatloaf to rest as directed so the cheeses set and filling remains intact.
