Chicken Cordon Bleu-Inspired Meatloaf with Dijon Gravy

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Prepare the Meatloaf:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

Gently fold in the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Shape and Bake:

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it into an even layer.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
