Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Filling

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of ham
  • 8 slices of Swiss cheese

Breading

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Fat

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Creamy Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the chicken rolls.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ¼ inch to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
  3. Season: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Place two slices of ham and two slices of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, then roll them tightly and secure with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
  5. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
  6. Sear the Rolls: Heat butter and olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken rolls on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, to develop flavor and color.
  7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken rolls for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked through.
  8. Make Sauce: While the chicken bakes, heat heavy cream in a saucepan, then stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, to create a smooth, flavorful sauce.
  9. Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the oven, discard toothpicks, and let rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Then slice the rolls for serving.
  10. Serve: Drizzle the creamy sauce over the sliced chicken cordon bleu and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken evenly for best results.
  • Secure chicken rolls tightly with toothpicks to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • The creamy sauce can be adjusted with more or less mustard based on your taste preference.
  • Make sure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Leftover sauce can be refrigerated and reheated gently for later use.
