½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
4–6 slices of deli ham
¼ cup mayonnaise (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using).

Step 2: Layer the Fillings

Spread half of the meat mixture evenly in the loaf pan.
Layer the ham slices and shredded Swiss cheese.
Cover with remaining chicken mixture, pressing to seal edges.

Step 3: Bake the Meatloaf

Spread mayonnaise on top (optional) and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 4: Rest and Serve

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
