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!

"CRISPY-CRUNCHY" CHICKEN



Delicious, crunchy fried chicken. This recipe came from the "AllRecipes" site. I'm sure you could always play around with the spices for a variety of flavors!

Provided by Rick B2

Categories     Healthy

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (Cut each half lengthwise into 2 pieces to create a total of 8 pieces)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1 egg
seasoning salt (to taste)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper (to taste)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine soup, egg and seasoned salt in a bowl and set aside (soup is already salted so be careful on amount of seasoned salt you add).
  • Mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Dip chicken pieces into soup mixture and turn so as to coat all over.
  • Place chicken pieces (one at a time) in bag with flour mixture, seal bag and shake to coat chicken (if more flour mixture is needed, add equal amounts of flour and cornstarch to bag).
  • Place coated pieces of chicken on a platter and allow to set until the coating becomes doughy (this is critical to ensure crispiness when fried).
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a skillet over medium heat, using enough oil to cover chicken pieces when fried (you can test oil in skillet by dropping a piece of the doughy coating into the hot oil- oil is ready when dough begins frying immediately).
  • Once chicken is doughy, fry pieces in oil for approx 5-8 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  • Drain pieces on paper towel and serve.
