Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf

1. Ingredients:

• 1 ½ lbs ground chicken
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 6 slices deli ham
• 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese

For the Dijon Cream Sauce:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Press half of the chicken mixture into the loaf pan. Layer the ham slices over the meat, followed by the shredded cheese.
4. Add the remaining chicken mixture on top, pressing it down firmly to seal the filling inside.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
6. While the meatloaf is baking, make the Dijon cream sauce. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
7. Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the meatloaf slices drizzled with the Dijon sauce.
