Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites image

I created this recipe to try to duplicate some appetizers I had last summer from Stew Leonard's famous dairy retail store in Connecticut. They are great as appetizers or as a fun food for kids. I love to make them with bread crumbs seasoned with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

9 ounces ground chicken
¼ cup cooked, diced ham
1 egg
½ cup bread crumbs
8 ounces Swiss cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
canola oil for pan-frying

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine the chicken, ham, and egg in a large bowl until well blended. Gradually add bread crumbs until the mixture loses its stickiness and can be easily formed into balls.
  • Form the chicken mixture around the cheese cubes, forming 2 inch balls. Place on a plate.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the balls until the outsides are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and place in baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cooked through and cheese is soft, about 20 minutes. Cool briefly before serving.
