Chicken Cordon Bleu with Swiss Cheese Sauce: The Ultimate Amazing Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 54 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 slices of ham (preferably Swiss or Black Forest)
– 4 slices of Swiss cheese
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (for the sauce)
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

Creating Chicken Cordon Bleu with Swiss Cheese Sauce can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
3. Assemble Chicken: Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks.
4. Prepare Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken roll in flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
6. Heat Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken rolls and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Prepare Swiss Cheese Sauce: While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese and Dijon mustard until melted and smooth.
9. Remove Toothpicks: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks.
10. Serve: Slice the Chicken Cordon Bleu and drizzle with the Swiss cheese sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

These easy steps will guide you in creating this incredible chicken dish effortlessly.
