Ingredients

  • 4 Medium-Large Chicken Breast
  • 8 Slices of Swiss Cheese
  • 8 Slices of Deli Ham thinly sliced
  • 2 Eggs whisked
  • ¾ cup Flour
  • 1 ½ Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tsp Season Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Start by butterflying the chicken breasts and placing them flat into a zip bag or two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them with a meat mallet to around a ¼-inch thickness.
  • Layer two pieces of cheese and ham onto each prepared chicken breast. Roll into a tight roll up and sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help the chicken to retain its shape.
  • Set up dredging station by combining the remaining spices with the flour into a shallow bowl, followed by the parmesan cheese with the panko. Eggs should be whisked and placed into their own shallow dish.
  • First gently roll each cordon bleu into flour, then egg wash and lastly the panko crumbs. Repeat until all cordon bleu is done.
