Chicken Cordon Bleu cooked in the oven RECIPE

Flaky breadcrumbs, juicy chicken and melting Swiss cheese combine to make Chicken Cordon Bleu, a well-known French dish. This oven-baked version is easier and healthier than the traditional frying method, making it a fantastic choice for a dinner party. Join me as I dive into the recipe and show you how to make this delectable dish step-by-step.

1. 4 chicken breasts (without bones and skin)
2. Using four pieces of Swiss cheese
3. Fourths of a beef slice
4. equal to half a cup of regular flour
5. Two whisked eggs
6. Breadcrumbs, measuring 1.25 cups
7. Feta cheese, half a cup grated
8. a teaspoon of garlic powder
9. Half a teaspoon of paprika
10. Toss with salt and pepper.

METHOD:

1. To begin, prepare the chicken.
2. To begin, preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper to prepare it.
3. Dry the chicken breasts by patting them: Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it is uniformly thick, approximately 1/4 inch. Continue doing this with the remaining chicken breasts.
4. Putting the layers of beef and cheese from Cordon Bleu together is the second step: Once the chicken breasts are flattened, place a slice of Swiss cheese and ham on top of each one. Roll each chicken breast tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
5. Prepare the breading stations: Assemble three shallow basins and prepare to bake. The first pan should be filled with flour. Using the second bowl, beat the eggs. Combine the breadcrumbs, Feta cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
6. Third, gently dust each chicken roll with flour, being sure to wipe off any excess.Dredge the chicken with bread.
7. Dip the floured chicken roll into the beaten eggs to coat it fully.
8. Roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and softly press to coat it evenly. When the baking dish is prepared, place the breaded chicken rolls in it.

Step Four: Use an oven to cook the chicken.
Cook Set the oven’s temperature to 375°F. Cover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is brown and the chicken is opaque throughout.
After the chicken has cooled, remove it from the oven and set it aside to rest for a few minutes. Cut it into serving pieces after that.
Chicken cordon bleu is traditionally served hot, topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley if desired. A fresh green salad, steaming vegetables, or mashed potatoes are excellent sides for this dish.
Notes on the Recipe
Make sure the chicken is evenly flattened to facilitate rolling and frying.
Cheese: For a variation on the traditional flavor, consider adding Gruyere or mozzarella, but Swiss is usually a good choice.
Breading: Firmly press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to create a crispy coating. Gently but firmly press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to coat it.
