Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf
This savory take on a classic dish transforms chicken cordon bleu into a hearty, flavor-packed meatloaf. Juicy ground chicken is seasoned and rolled with layers of deli ham and Swiss cheese, then baked to perfection with a Dijon mustard glaze and melty mozzarella on top.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ground chicken | 2 pounds |
| Breadcrumbs | 1 cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/2 cup |
| Milk | 1/2 cup |
| Egg | 1 |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Sliced Swiss cheese | 6 slices |
| Sliced deli ham | 6 slices |
| Dijon mustard | 1/4 cup |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 1/2 cup |
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set it aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined — don’t overwork the meat.
Step 3: Shape the Mixture
Place the chicken mixture on a sheet of parchment paper and press it into a rectangular slab, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Step 4: Add Fillings
Evenly lay out the Swiss cheese slices over the surface, followed by the ham, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 5: Roll It Up
Using the parchment to assist, gently roll the chicken mixture from one short end to the other into a log shape. Seal the edges and place it seam-side down into the greased baking dish.
Step 6: Glaze and Bake
Brush the top with Dijon mustard and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the loaf. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and makes slicing easier.
