EASY OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu image

This version is easy since it uses the chicken cutlets which are much thinner than the whole breast - thus no pounding - and the ingredients are layered instead of rolled. It all came together accidentally tonight when I realized the cutlets were too small to roll. My family loved it...I hope you will too!

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 thin slices deli ham
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 ¼ cups bread crumbs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Place 3 cutlets side by side in the prepared pan and season with salt and pepper. Top with overlapping ham slices, starting 1/4 inch away from the edges of the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese over ham. Lay remaining 3 cutlets side by side on top, covering all the Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle flour on top, spreading with hands to cover.
  • Combine beaten egg and milk in a bowl; pour over the chicken.
  • Combine bread crumbs with oregano in a bowl; sprinkle over the top and sides to cover all surfaces of chicken. Spoon any excess egg mixture from the bottom of the pan over the chicken. Drizzle melted butter on top; pour chicken broth around the edges. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cutlets are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Turn oven to broil and cook until top is crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

Tips for Making Chicken Cordon Bleu

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • For a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • To prevent the cheese from oozing out, tuck the edges of the chicken breasts securely before cooking.
  • For a golden-brown crust, fry the chicken in hot oil over medium heat.
  • To keep the chicken moist, serve it immediately over rice or with a side of vegetables.

Conclusion

Chicken cordon bleu is a classic dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its crispy coating, melted cheese, and tender chicken, it's a dish that everyone will love. By following these tips, you can make chicken cordon bleu that is perfectly cooked and delicious.
