Heidi’s Crispy Chicken Cordon Bleu

What you’ll need

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts

Salt and Pepper to Taste

1 tsp Onion Powder

4 – 8 Swiss Cheese Slices (Depending on how cheesy you want them)

4 Slices Cooked Ham (I have them slice it as for sandwiches at the deli)

1 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs

3 Eggs

1 Cup Flour

Directions –

ctions –Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Coat baking dish with a light layer of Olive Oil (not light or extra virgin)

Pound chicken breast to 1/4 inch thickness (I put the chicken between 2 pieces of parchment paper)

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper

Place one ham slice and one or two pieces of cheese on each breast, roll and secure with toothpicks, let sit for 10 minutes or so

Mix the onion powder in the flour and place in shallow dish (or pour on clean countertop)

Beat eggs in shallow dish

Pour breadcrumbs in shallow dish (or pour on clean countertop)

After chicken rolls have set you should be able to remove the toothpicks and have them hold their shape. If not I just work around the toothpick.

Roll each piece in the flour, then the eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs

Place in baking dish and cover with foil

Bake 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink

Optional – Top with Alfredo Sauce or Gravy of your choice
