Ingredients:

For the Meatloaf:

  • 2 lbs. ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons minced onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 6 slices Virginia chicken ham
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (for topping)

For the Creamy Dijon Gravy:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup skim or 1% milk
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, mayonnaise, plain bread crumbs, minced onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Meatloaf:
    • Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly on the bottom of a loaf pan.
    • Layer the chicken ham slices on top of the chicken mixture.
    • Place the Swiss cheese slices over the ham.
    • Spread the remaining chicken mixture on top, covering the ham and cheese layers.
  4. Bake the Meatloaf:
    • Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
    • After 25 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly on top.
    • Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the meatloaf is cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Creamy Dijon Gravy:
    • While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling and slightly golden.
    • Gradually add the heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
    • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
    • Add the grated Parmesan cheese and freshly grated nutmeg, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
    • Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve:
    • Once the meatloaf is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Serve the meatloaf slices with the creamy Dijon gravy drizzled on top.
