Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Mushrooms, finely sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound it to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, then roll them tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip into the eggs, and coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls on all sides until golden, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the mushroom sauce. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Once the chicken is finished baking, remove the toothpicks and serve each roll drizzled with the mushroom sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu with Mushroom Sauce!
