Chicken Meatloaf Recipe – Chicken Roll With Cheese & Bacon

If you’re looking for a cozy, crowd-pleasing dinner that takes simple ingredients and turns them into something seriously delicious, this hearty chicken meatloaf roll is it.

Instead of using store-bought ground chicken, you chop the fillets yourself, which gives the meatloaf an amazing texture and juiciness.

Add a layer of melty cheese, buttery mushrooms, and a crispy bacon wrap, and you’ve got a dish that feels fancy but is actually super easy to pull together.

It’s the kind of recipe that makes everyone at the table think you spent hours in the kitchen—when really, you just rolled up a few great flavors and let the oven do the rest.

Ingredients:

2 chicken fillets
1/2 tsp of dry garlic
1/2 tsp of paprika
Fresh parsley
1/2 Lb cheese (about 200 g)
1/2 lb Champignon mushrooms (about 200 g)
oil, a piece of butter
12-14 slices bacon
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp of Provencal herbs
Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken

1. Finely chop the chicken fillets with a sharp knife (freezing the chicken briefly makes cutting easier).
2. Place chopped chicken in a bowl.
3. Season with salt, black pepper, dry garlic, and paprika.
4. Add chopped parsley or cilantro.
5. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

2. Prepare the filling

1. Grate cheddar cheese and set aside.
2. Heat oil and butter in a pan.
3. Add chopped mushrooms and fry over medium heat.
4. Season with salt and pepper; cook until liquid evaporates. Let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the roll

1. Lay out a sheet of foil and place parchment paper on top.
2. Arrange bacon slices side-by-side in a rectangular layer.
3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bacon, pressing it down firmly.
4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Provencal herbs.
5. Spread this sauce evenly over the chicken layer.
6. Sprinkle grated cheese across the surface.
7. Add the sautéed mushrooms along one edge.
8. Carefully roll everything into a tight log, using the paper as support.

4. Bake

1. Wrap the roll tightly in foil.
2. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes.
3. Remove from oven, unwrap foil, and brush bacon with the released juices.
4. Return uncovered to the oven for another 15 minutes, until golden.

Slice and serve with your preferred sauce — ketchup, BBQ sauce, garlic dip, or ranch all work great.
