EASY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu image

Recipe video above. My midweek version of Chicken Cordon Bleu. All the flavour, all the crunch, much faster to make, and it's better for you because it's baked! Choose your method for crumbing the chicken - Super Easy or Quick Dredge (see photos for difference). Super Easy coats the top and sides of the chicken, but is faster than the Dredging Method. Served with a gorgeous traditional Dijon Cream Sauce!

ORIGINAL CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Original Chicken Cordon Bleu image

This classic French chicken dish, adapted from Jane and Michael Stern's book "American Gourmet," more than lives up to its name ("cordon bleu" means "blue ribbon"). It's also far easier to make than you may think. A chicken breast is pounded thin (we've been known to cheat by using pretrimmed cutlets), then wrapped around a slice of smoked ham and a bit of Swiss cheese, and secured with toothpicks. The roulade is coated in egg and bread crumbs, then pan-fried until golden brown, and a simple white wine cream sauce finishes it off.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large boneless and skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
4 thin slices smoked ham
2 ounces Swiss cheese, cut into 4 equal "fingers"
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chicken stock
3/4 cup white wine, heavy cream or additional chicken stock

Steps:

  • Lay the chicken breasts between pieces of wax paper and use a mallet to pound them to 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch thick. Take care not to pound holes in the chicken. Layer each breast with the ham, then place a finger of cheese in the center. Roll up to completely enclose the ham and cheese and secure with toothpicks.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg and coat with bread crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter. Add the chicken and cook, turning carefully with tongs, until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the stock to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Move the chicken to a warm platter.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of stock to the skillet, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring up browned bits clinging to the bottom, for 1 minute. Add the wine (or heavy cream or additional stock), lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the consistency of gravy, about 45 seconds. Pour over the chicken breasts and serve.

CRISPY, CREAMY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU RECIPE BY TASTY



Crispy, Creamy Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe by Tasty image

There's nothing we love more than a crispy, succulent, perfectly-fried piece of fried chicken. But we also love gourmet meals. You know, the ones that you sit down to in the candlelight? Those ones. Well, our easy chicken Cordon Bleu is the best of both worlds: sounds fancy but really? It's just some really, really good fried chicken. That, we can promise.

Provided by Matthew Johnson

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!
