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!

CREAMY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE

I had some ham that needed used up and came up with this delectable little dish. It's not very health conscious, but it was a huge hit in our house. I was told by my 11 year-old son that it was his new favorite casserole. It's also a good way to use up all of your leftover Easter or Christmas ham. I hope you like it as much as we did!

Provided by SlipC

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken breasts
4 slices deli ham (I like to use the honey ham, but any kind is good)
4 slices swiss cheese (sandwich size)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
crushed saltine crackers
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Place chicken between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound till 1/4" thick.
  • Place one slice ham and one slice cheese on each breast.
  • Evenly distribute cream cheese between chicken breasts, spreading on top of the ham.
  • Roll up carefully, securing with toothpicks.
  • It is important to secure the ends so the cream cheese doesn't leak out!
  • Just close the ends by securing them with toothpicks.
  • Lightly sprinkle each piece with salt, then dip in the egg.
  • Roll chicken in cracker crumbs.
  • Cook rolls in hot oil in skillet until light brown, turning occasionally (approx. 5-10 minutes) When brown, add water, cover and simmer until chicken is done, about ten minutes.
  • Remove toothpicks and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Season your chicken breasts well. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the dish.
  • Use a good quality Swiss cheese. This will make a big difference in the taste of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Creamy cordon bleu bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve to guests. The chicken breasts are tender and juicy, the cheese is melted and gooey, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
