If you're looking for a classic French dish that's both elegant and comforting, you can't go wrong with Chicken Cordon Bleu. This dish features tender chicken breasts stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese, then coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and baked until crispy and golden brown. It's perfect for a special occasion, or just a cozy dinner at home.
To make this delicious dish, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, take four boneless, skinless chicken breasts and use a meat mallet to pound them until they're even in thickness. Next, season the chicken with salt and pepper and layer a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each breast. Roll up the chicken and secure it with toothpicks.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together one egg and two tablespoons of milk. In another shallow bowl, mix together half a cup of seasoned breadcrumbs and half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken roll in the egg mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure it adheres.
Place the chicken rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
