Best 3 Tyler Florences Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipes

ULTIMATE CHICKEN CORDON BLEU - TYLER FLORENCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lay each breast between layers of plastic wrap. Carefully pound chicken out to 1/4" thickness. Remove top layer of plastic wrap. Place a slice of prosciutto on chicken, and top with gruyere. Roll chicken into a tight pinwheel using plastic to help. Twist both ends of plastic wrap in opposite directions to make a tight cylinder. Repeat until all 4 breasts are done. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes until chicken firms up.
• In a shallow dish, place flour. In a second dish, beat eggs. In a third dish, place panko. Add salt and pepper to each dish and stir well. Add thyme, garlic and melted butter to panko and stir well.
• Unwrap chicken rolls. Gently roll in flour, then tap off excess. Dip in egg on all sides, then roll in panko until well-coated. Place rolls in large casserole dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until golden brown. Let rest 3-5 minutes. Slice each roll into 4 slices before serving. Serve with Roasted Chicken Jus (see recipe elsewhere on this site).
