Chicken Cordon Bleu - Upgraded
This Chicken Cordon Bleu just got a SERIOUS upgrade! I used a much higher grade of meat than ham, and a much tastier cheese than Swiss. It's SO much better!

Calories: 485kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 8 slices Gruyere Cheese
- 2 eggs beaten with 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Butterfly each chicken breast in half.
- Cover each chicken half (all 4 pieces) with plastic wrap, and pound each chicken breast half until it's very thin (about 1/4 inch).
- Top each flattened piece of chicken with 1 slice of prosciutto, followed by 2 slices of cheese, and then another slice of prosciutto.
- Roll up each chicken breast half.
- Drench the rolled-up chickens in flour and shake off the excess.
- Dip the rolled-up chicken pieces in the egg, and then generously coat them all over in breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil over medium.
- Once the pan is hot, place the chicken in it. Cook each side of the chicken for about a minute, just long enough to brown the breadcrumb crust.
- Place in a glass baking dish and bake for 30 minutes at 350, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
Notes
*You can swap Swiss for mozzarella or gouda for a different flavor profile.
