Ingredients:<\/p>\n
For the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n
1 lb ground chicken
\n1\/2 cup breadcrumbs
\n1\/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
\n1 egg, lightly beaten
\n1 teaspoon garlic powder
\n1 teaspoon onion powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon dried thyme
\nSalt and pepper, to taste
\n1\/2 cup diced ham
\n1\/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
\nFor the Dijon Gravy:<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
\n2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
\n1 1\/2 cups chicken broth
\n1\/4 cup heavy cream
\n1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
\n1\/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
\nSalt and pepper, to taste
\nFor Garnish:<\/p>\n
Fresh parsley, chopped
\nInstructions:<\/p>\n
Prepare the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
\nIn a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
\nGently fold in the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
\nShape and Bake:<\/p>\n
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it into an even layer.
\nBake for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
\nMake the Dijon Gravy:<\/p>\n
While the meatloaf is baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
\nStir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth.
\nStir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
\nServe:<\/p>\n
Slice the meatloaf and drizzle with warm Dijon gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad.
