Chicken Cordon Bleu

Course Main Course
Servings 6 pcs

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken breast separate breasts and slice each into 3 even flat pieces, 6 pieces total
  • 1 1/2 cup Homemade Breadcrumbs or your favorite Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 3 slices of ham cut in half lengthwise into 6 pieces
  • 3 slices of baby swiss cheese cut in half into 6 pieces
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp oil

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 13x9” baking dish with oil.
  2. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl and mix water and eggs in another.
  3. Place one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on one slice of chicken. Roll starting from smaller end.
  4. While holding the rolled chicken in your hand, dip in egg mixture and then into bread crumbs, making to cover all sides. Although some like to use a toothpick to hold in place, I just carefully place the seam side down in the baking dish.
  5. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part. *Note that the part of the chicken touching the ham will look slightly pink.
