(a delicious twist on a classic dish)
📝 INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
4 slices of Swiss cheese
4 slices of ham
🔔 INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: PREPARE THE MEATLOAF MIXTURE
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour this mixture into the meat mixture and combine until just blended.
STEP 2: FORM THE MEATLOAF
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
– On a clean surface, shape the meat mixture into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Lay the slices of ham evenly over the meat, followed by the Swiss cheese slices.
STEP 3: ROLL AND BAKE
– Carefully roll the meatloaf from one side to the other, encasing the ham and cheese inside. Pinch the ends to seal the meatloaf.
– Place the rolled meatloaf seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
STEP 4: SERVE
– Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy the delicious flavors of Chicken Cordon Bleu in a meatloaf form!
