- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional topping: 1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- Optional topping: 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded Swiss cheese evenly without overmixing.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- If desired, sprinkle the top with extra cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss for a deeper flavor.
- Add chopped parsley or chives for freshness.
- Top with a light Dijon cream sauce for extra richness.
- Do not overmix the meat to keep the texture tender.
- Loosely cover when reheating to retain moisture.
