Here’s a Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf that tastes like the classic dish—tender chicken, melty Swiss, savory ham, and a creamy Dijon topping. It’s easy, comforting, and a crowd-pleaser.

🍗🧀 Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

Meatloaf:

2 lbs ground chicken
1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works well)
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 small onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Filling:

6–8 slices deli ham
6–8 slices Swiss cheese (or shredded Swiss, about 1 cup)

Topping Sauce (optional but amazing):

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey or 1 tsp sugar
½ tsp paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat

Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly grease it.

2. Make the meat mixture

In a large bowl, mix:

Ground chicken
Breadcrumbs
Eggs
Milk
Onion
Garlic
Salt & pepper
Paprika
Dijon
Worcestershire

Mix gently until combined—don’t overwork it.

3. Form the loaf with filling

You can do this two ways:

Method A (easiest — loaf pan):

Press half of the meat mixture into the loaf pan.
Layer in:
- Ham slices
- Swiss cheese slices
Cover with the remaining meat mixture and press edges to seal.

Method B (rolled loaf):

Spread meat mixture on parchment into a 9×12 rectangle.
Layer ham + cheese.
Roll it up like a jelly roll and place seam-down on a baking sheet.

4. Add topping sauce

Mix sauce ingredients:

Mayo
Dijon
Honey
Paprika

Spread a thin layer on top of the loaf.
(Reserve the rest for serving.)

5. Bake

Bake 55–70 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

If using the rolled method, check at 50 minutes.

6. Rest & slice

Let rest 10 minutes, then slice into thick portions.

🍽️ Serve with

Roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes
Green beans or broccoli
Rice pilaf
Side salad with Dijon vinaigrette

🔄 Variations
