directions
- Combine the ground chicken, zucchini, onion, garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper, and shape it into a 9×18 inch rectangle on wax paper.
- Layer the ham and swiss cheese over the chicken mixture, then roll it up into a log shape and transfer it to a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley, then sprinkle it over the meatloaf in the pan.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, roughly 60 minutes. (Cover with foil for the first 40 minutes, then remove to allow the breadcrumbs to brown.)
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 15 minutes, then slice and serve topped with the dijon mustard sauce!
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter until it begins to froth.
