→ For cooking
08 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
09 -
½ onion, finely chopped
10 -
3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
→ Glaze
11 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
12 -
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
13 -
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
14 -
2 teaspoons sugar substitute of choice
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Generously grease a meatloaf pan and set aside.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until soft and translucent, then add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 -
In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked onion and garlic mixture, and thoroughly combine.
04 -
Spread the chicken mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, forming a rectangle approximately the length of an 8-inch loaf pan and about ¾-inch thick.
05 -
Lay out the slices of ham to cover the surface of the chicken, leaving a 1-inch border uncovered across each of the short sides. Top with the slices of Swiss cheese.
06 -
Starting from one short end, use the parchment paper to help roll up the meatloaf along its length. Ensure the filling is enclosed, lifting the paper up and over as you roll.
07 -
Transfer the rolled meatloaf to the prepared pan, placing it seam-side down.
08 -
Whisk together the melted butter, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sugar substitute. Brush the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
09 -
Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the roll is tight to prevent the cheese and ham from spilling out while baking.
