# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Meat Base

01 - 2 pounds ground chicken

→ Binders and Seasonings

02 - 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1/2 cup milk
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

09 - 6 ounces sliced chicken ham
10 - 6 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced

→ Finishing Ingredients

11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, for greasing pan

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully integrated.
03 - Spread the chicken mixture on a sheet of wax or parchment paper, shaping into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
04 - Arrange sliced chicken ham evenly across the surface, then top with sliced Swiss cheese.
05 - Starting from one short end, roll the chicken mixture jelly-roll style, using the paper for support. Seal the edges securely.
06 - Place the rolled loaf seam-side down into the prepared pan.
07 - Brush the top with Dijon mustard for added flavor, if desired.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F is achieved.
09 - Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure cheese sets and slices hold together.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best slicing, let the meatloaf cool slightly to allow the cheese to firm and maintain structure.
