Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
16 slices swiss cheese
½ lb ham, thinly sliced
peanut oil, or vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
¼ cup dijon mustard
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, tossing to coat evenly.
  • On a cutting board, place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and place 2 slices of Swiss cheese, then 2 slices of ham, then another layer of Swiss cheese, and another layer of ham. Evenly roll the chicken and place onto a new sheet of plastic wrap.
  • Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and use the excess plastic on the sides to twist, firming up the roll of chicken cordon bleu as you work. Tie the excess plastic. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then chill the rolls in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a tall-sided pan with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil to 325°F (170°C).
  • After the rolls are set, prepare 2 separate large, wide dishes with the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.
  • Place the breaded chicken cordon bleu in the oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is an even golden brown. If a good color is achieved and the chicken's center is still not 165°F (75°C), place the chicken cordon bleu on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and finish the chicken in the oven at 325°F (170°C) until that temperature is reached.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the garlic until soft. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
  • Add the milk and whisk until fully combined with the roux and no lumps remain. Continue whisking until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened.
  • Add the mustard, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Slice the chicken and serve drizzled with Dijon sauce.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Chicken Cordon Bleu image

Chicken breasts are pounded thin, wrapped around ham and cheese, breaded, and pan-fried in this classic Swiss dish. Make it a balanced meal by serving with a lightly dressed salad of winter chicories.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each), tenderloins removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ounces thinly sliced Swiss cheese
6 ounces thinly sliced ham
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup safflower or other neutral-flavored oil

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice a chicken breast horizontally, starting at the thickest part and cutting almost to the other side (do not cut all the way through) until, when opened, breast lies flat. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound to an even 1/4 inch thick. Remove top layer of plastic; season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken. Layer 1 1/2 ounces each of cheese and ham over surface of a breast; fold in half to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining chicken, cheese, and ham.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place flour in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with 2 tablespoons water in another dish; season with salt and pepper. Place panko in a third dish; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium. Meanwhile, dredge a breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, turning to evenly coat. Dredge in panko, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining chicken. Add half the chicken to skillet and cook, turning once halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, and cheese is melted, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Keep warm in oven. Cook remaining chicken with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts with the ham and cheese. Be sure to not overstuff the chicken breasts, or they will be difficult to close.
  • Close the chicken breasts with toothpicks. This will help keep the ham and cheese inside the chicken while it cooks.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken breasts are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

BBQ Chicken Cordon Bleu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of juicy chicken, melted cheese, and savory ham is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your BBQ Chicken Cordon Bleu turns out perfectly every time.
