Description
Chicken cordon bleu is a recipe to look good with little effort. Not really expensive, as chicken breast produces a good quantity of meat and the fillets are flattened until very thin.
Ingredients
- 6 flattened chicken breast, large and thin
- 3 slices cooked ham, halved
- 6 slices cheese
- salt
- pepper
- ½ cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1-2 cups breadcrumbs
Methods/steps
- Cover one half of each flattened chicken breast with half a slice ham and place one slice of cheese on top of ham. Fold over the chicken breast and press tightly to seal the sides.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper, dredge into the flour and shake off excess, dip into the beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes if possible.
- Heat oil in a large pan over a high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from pan and stand on kitchen paper to eliminate any oil absorbed into the coating, garnish and serve.
Additional Tips
- This is one recipe to prepare ahead and cook last minute, although it is easy to get ready and there is no problem to do all the work at once.
- Choose a type of cheese easy to melt, such as Monterrey Jack, Cheddar or Gruyere.
