Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
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.
Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each flattened chicken breast, leaving a small margin along the edges.
Roll up each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a neat roll. Secure the seam with toothpicks.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken roll first in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the chicken to help it adhere.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter with the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Once hot, add the chicken rolls seam-side down and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Succulent Chicken Cordon Bleu!
