Ingredients
4 Servings
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- 4 slices ham
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 3
Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up each breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken roll in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Step 5
In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your Classic Chicken Cordon Bleu!
