Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of ham ensure gluten-free
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth ensure gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast and roll them up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if necessary. Dip each chicken roll in beaten eggs, then coat with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, in a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks.
- Serve the chicken cordon bleu sliced, drizzled with the mustard sauce.
Tip:
- Ensure the chicken rolls are tightly secured to keep the filling inside during cooking. For a crispy crust, you can briefly broil the chicken after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
