Description
After a long and tiring day at work, there is nothing better than coming home to a warm and comforting meal. One of my go-to recipes for such occasions is chicken cordon bleu.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish and season it with salt and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk and season with salt and pepper.
- In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
- Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks and serving.
