Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices thin slices of ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
Lay a slice of ham and Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken up tightly, starting from the narrower end, and secure with toothpicks to hold the filling in place.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one containing the flour, one with the eggs lightly beaten, and the third combining breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each stuffed chicken roll first in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken rolls for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks, slice if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken!
