Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts until they are an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. This will help the chicken cook evenly and make it easier to stuff.
• Layer two slices of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast, then roll it up tightly. Secure each roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
• In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
• Dip each chicken roll in the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to make sure they stick.
• Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken rolls and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
