QUICK CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and tenders removed (see Tips & Techniques)
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/3 cup(s) shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
2 tablespoon(s) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup(s) coarse dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tips & Techniques)
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley or thyme
4 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 cup(s) (about 1 ounce) chopped ham

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt. Combine cheese and cream cheese in a bowl. Combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper with breadcrumbs, parsley (or thyme), and 2 teaspoons oil in another bowl. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large, ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the chicken to the center so all pieces are touching. Spread with the cheese mixture, sprinkle with ham, then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken is dry before coating it in the breadcrumbs.
  • To prevent the cheese from leaking out, place the chicken in the freezer for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
  • You can use any type of cheese you like for the filling, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Swiss.
  • Serve the chicken cordon bleu with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or marinara sauce.
