A delicious and creamy take on the classic chicken cordon bleu, featuring tender chicken breasts filled with Swiss cheese and ham, all smothered in a rich cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 8 thin slices of cooked ham
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the cream sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese and 2 slices of ham onto each chicken breast.
  4. Carefully roll up each chicken breast and secure with toothpicks.
  5. Dredge each rolled chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls on all sides until golden, about 5 minutes.
  7. Transfer the browned chicken rolls to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
  8. While the chicken bakes, prepare the cream sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add flour. Whisk until smooth and cook for about 1 minute.
  9. Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Remove chicken from the oven, remove toothpicks, and serve with the creamy sauce draped over the top.

Notes

  • Make sure to pound the chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
  • You can substitute the Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a stronger flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
