To prepare these stuffed chicken breasts, pound out the chicken breasts, roll them up with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and cooked ham, coat in bread crumb and bake. EASY!
Serve Chicken Cordon Bleu with roasted vegetables, salad or Mushroom Sauce.
Yield: Serves 2
- 2 boneless & skinless chicken breast (butterfly style), about 350 g
- 3-4 slices cooked ham
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 130 g cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten well
- cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt & black pepper to taste
Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Put each chicken breast between two layers of plastic wrap, on a chopping board and pound them to a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch.
Lay the chicken breasts flat; season each side with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over each breast.
Place the slices of ham on top, covering the surface of the breasts.
Mix the cream cheese and garlic. Spread the mixture over the ham.
Roll tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Put flour, beaten egg and bread crumbs on to 3 separate flat dishes. Dredge each chicken breast roll first in the flour then the beaten egg and finally the bread crumbs.
Transfer chicken breast rolls to a greased baking dish, seam side down. Set a tablespoon of butter on top of each.
Bake until chicken is cooked through and slightly browned, about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the breast.
Serve with Mushroom Sauce and salad.
