Chicken Cordon Bleu

By: Dominick Romano • In: Entrees • Cuisine: French

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 4 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup Gruyere Cheese (shredded, or swiss)
  • 8 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 2 Eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup Bread Crumbs (seasoned)
  • 1/4 cup Canola Oil

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2:

Place one breast half between two sheets of waxed paper on a cutting board. Pound to an even thickness of ¼ inch with the flat side of a meat mallet, a rolling pin or cast iron pan. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

Step 3:

Spread out one piece of ham, pile ¼ cup of the cheese in the middle, and then tightly fold up burrito-style to enclose. Spread one pounded chicken breast with 2 tsp. of the mustard. Place ham bundle on chicken; slide to one narrow end. Roll chicken breast, enclosing bundle. Secure with a toothpick or two; tuck in any loose ends. Repeat for a total of 4 stuffed chicken breasts.

Step 4:

Spread flour onto a dinner plate, and pour eggs into a pie dish and bread crumbs onto a second dinner plate. Coat one stuffed breast with flour, dip in egg completely then coat with bread crumbs, adhering with fingers if needed. Repeat with all chicken pieces.

Step 5:

Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and brown, covered, 3 minutes. Flip chicken over, and continue to cook, covered, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a shallow baking dish and bake 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until temperature registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
