Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Layer the Meatloaf: Press half of the chicken mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Layer ham slices on top, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, and spread Dijon mustard evenly over the cheese.
Top with Remaining Chicken Mixture: Press the remaining chicken mixture over the top, sealing the edges to enclose the filling.
Bake: Bake for 45–50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Add Cheese Topping: Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until melted and bubbly.

Notes

Swap Swiss for Gruyère for a deeper flavor.
Use turkey instead of chicken for a different protein.
Great with roasted veggies or a side salad.
