Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan generously with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, finely diced onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs. Mix until just combined.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Pack the meat mixture on the paper, flattening it into about an 8x12-inch rectangle.
- Distribute the slices of Black Forest ham evenly over the flattened meat mixture, followed by layers of Swiss cheese.
- Using the parchment paper as a guide, roll the meat mixture tightly into a log shape, seam side down in the greased loaf pan. Remove the parchment paper carefully.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining panko breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the top to create a crunchy crust.
- Bake for about 75 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Check for doneness around the one-hour mark.
- While the meatloaf is resting, melt a bit of butter in a saucepan, add flour, whisk until smooth, gradually pour in milk, cooking until thickened. Stir in more Dijon mustard and Parmesan until blended, then set aside.
- Once rested, slice the meatloaf beautifully and serve warm, drizzling the creamy mustard sauce over each slice.
