Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 8 slices dairy-free mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices smoked ham
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Spread a small amount of dijon mustard on one side of each chicken breast.
Layer 2 slices of dairy-free mozzarella cheese and 2 slices of smoked ham on each chicken piece.
Carefully roll the chicken breasts from one end to the other, securing with toothpicks to hold the roll.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In another dish, whisk together the eggs and almond milk.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge each chicken roll in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Roll the chicken in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs stick.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken rolls to the skillet, browning them on all sides for about 6-8 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free breaded Chicken Cordon Bleu!
