Chicken Cordon Bleu is a delicious, crispy breaded chicken stuffed with savory ham and melted Swiss cheese, served with a creamy sauce. Perfect for dinner parties or family meals, it combines tender chicken with irresistible flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham deli-style
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko for extra crunch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay a slice of ham on each chicken breast, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese. Roll up the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Breading: Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.
- Cook: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes on each side until crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve: Remove toothpicks and slice into rounds. Serve with your favorite sides.
