Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham on each chicken breast. Roll up each breast and secure with toothpicks.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
In another dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
In a third dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each rolled chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the browned chicken rolls to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve the Chicken Cordon Bleu hot and enjoy your mouth-watering gluten-free meal.
