This Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf is a fun change from the traditional meatloaf option. The Dijon glaze finishes it off perfectly!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 Garlic cloves (pressed or minced)
  • 2 lbs Ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 Large egg
  • 3/4 tsp Pepper
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 6-8 Slices deli ham
  • 6-8 slices Swiss Cheese
  • 2 Tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 1 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Sugar substitute of choice

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 F, generously grease a meatloaf pan, set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook onions in olive oil until soft and translucent. Add garlic, cook for another minute or so. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, mix together chicken, parsley, egg, pepper, and salt. Add onion and garlic, mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Spread chicken out onto a sheet of parchment paper. I like to aim for the length of my loaf pan (8"), by however long it ends up, when spread to about 3/4" thick.

  5. 5

    Lay out the ham slices to cover the chicken - leaving 1" uncovered, across each of the short sides.

  6. 6

    Top with Swiss cheese slices.

  7. 7

    Starting with one of the short ends, roll up the meatloaf along the length of it - the parchment paper will help with this.

  8. 8

    Be sure to pick up the paper on the end you’re rolling, going kind of up and over, rather than a straight roll. You want to keep the filling in, not push it.

  9. 9

    Transfer meatloaf to the prepared pan, seam side down.

  10. 10

    Whisk together melted butter, vinegar, mustard, and sugar substitute, brush over meatloaf.

  11. 11

    Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer measures the internal temperature at 165 F.
