How to Make Supper Club Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 slices of Swiss cheese
– 4 slices of ham
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 large egg, beaten
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get your baking dish greased and ready.
2. Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
3. On each of your chicken breasts, place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham. Roll and secure with toothpicks, making sure the sides are well tucked in.
4. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge the rolls in the flour mixture ensuring excess flour is shaken off.
5. Dip each of the dredged chicken into the beaten egg, then coat generously with breadcrumbs.
6. Warm up the vegetable oil on medium heat in a skillet and then add the chicken. Have each side browned to a golden color for 4-5 minutes.
7. Move the browned chicken into the prepped baking dish and bake for around 30 minutes. The chicken is done when it is cooked and cheese is meltingly beautiful.
8. Before serving, do remember to remove the toothpicks!
