Air Fryer Cordon Bleu Meatloaf with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, egg, onion, garlic, Dijon, 2 tbsp parsley, and ¼ cup Panko.

Step 2

Place the chicken mixture on a rectangle piece of wax paper.

Step 3

Flatten the chicken mixture into a rectangle that is approximately 8"x12" with a thickness of ½-inch.

Step 4

Place the ham slices on the chicken mixture and then place the Swiss cheese on top of the ham.

Step 5

Using the wax paper, begin rolling the meat mixture, starting at the short end of the rectangle. Do this as you would roll a jellyroll. Use your hands to help release the chicken mixture from the wax paper. It will be sticky to the touch.

Step 6

Form two aluminum foil slings by taking a large rectangle of foil, and folding in the sides. Place them in a cross (perpendicular to each other) and then gently place the loaf on top of them. Use your fingers to seal the sides and gently smooth the meat mixture across the loaf.

Step 7

Use the slings to carefully lift the loaf and place it into the basket of your air fryer. Cook at 400°F for 25 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, mix together the remaining ¾ cup of Panko with the melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Once the 25 minutes is complete, open the basket, and carefully press the Panko onto the top and sides of the loaf. Be careful, the loaf will be hot!

Step 9

Close the basket and resume cooking for another 5 minutes.

Step 10

Make the sauce by sauteeing the mushrooms in 2 tbsp of melted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the condensed soup, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until heated through.

Step 11

Open the basket and check the internal temperature of the meatloaf, it should be at least 165° when inserted into the chicken mixture (not the ham or cheese).

Step 12

Use the sling to remove the loaf from the basket. Use a sharp knife to slice the loaf into 1-inch slices.

Step 13

Arrange on a serving platter and pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with remaining chopped parsley. Serve at once.
