Crispy, Creamy Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe by Tasty

Used thin sliced chicken breasts because i despise having to pound raw chicken. Then threw them in the freezer after wrapping them for about 20 minutes, before dipping in the flour, egg, and panko. Think this helped them hold their shape. Fried for a couple minutes per side then finished in the oven. Amazing

It was great. We had to finish in a 350f oven for 15 minutes in order to reach 165 internal. But they turned out juicy and amazing.

Not enough oil to cover soil flipped over after 5 min then put in little oven on 400 about 10 min. Randy loved it

Was pretty easy to make, hard to roll everything together but eventually got it to stick! Was ver delicious and the sauce was perfect with a little extra flour for good thickness! We split one roll at a time but worked well reheated too!

Absolute win in my household. My picky daughters loved it.

This was a delicious meal. It takes a bit of work, but the results are a crowd pleaser. If making this as a family dinner I suggest making the chicken rolls the day before to shorten the prep time. Then you just have to make the sauce, bread the chicken, and fry. I used Gruyere and it was delicious. Next time I make the sauce I will cut the dijon by 25% and up the parmesan by 25%.

I added grated cheese to the bread crumbs! Also instead of frying all the way I put it in the oven for 25 min at 400° and they came out great!

Shop this recipePowered by ADVERTISEMENT Preparation Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, tossing to coat evenly.On a cutting board, place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.Remove the plastic wrap and place 2 slices of Swiss cheese, then 2 slices of ham, then another layer of Swiss cheese, and another layer of ham. Evenly roll the chicken and place onto a new sheet of plastic wrap.Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and use the excess plastic on the sides to twist, firming up the roll of chicken cordon bleu as you work. Tie the excess plastic. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then chill the rolls in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.Meanwhile, preheat a tall-sided pan with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil to 325°F (170°C).After the rolls are set, prepare 2 separate large, wide dishes with the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.Place the breaded chicken cordon bleu in the oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is an even golden brown. If a good color is achieved and the chicken’s center is still not 165°F (75°C), place the chicken cordon bleu on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and finish the chicken in the oven at 325°F (170°C) until that temperature is reached.Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the garlic until soft. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute.Add the milk and whisk until fully combined with the roux and no lumps remain. Continue whisking until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened.Add the mustard, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.Slice the chicken and serve drizzled with Dijon sauce.Enjoy! Need easy dinner ideas? These meals will make your weeknights way simpler.

Came out beautifully moist and delicious 3 years agoHelpful (300) Dustin Hurst If you want to be a hero, make this for your in laws. 3 years agoHelpful (208) loveroffinecuisine Too afraid to fry it in oil, so I baked it for 40 min at 350 instead and it turned out sooo delicious! 3 years agoHelpful (204) Linda Harrison Used my fryer first and then will finish baking in the oven! Christmas Day 2018! Made one dish with Swiss and the other with Gruyere! 3 years agoHelpful (160) victoriajames Well if you a muslim and can’t add ham and can replace it with smoke beef and if you don’t have a Swiss cheese you can replace it with mozzarella and it taste really good with mozzarella 3 years agoHelpful (159) Bea Indonto Just go for it ❤️ it looks like a lot of work but it is so worth it ❤️ 3 years agoHelpful (145) bbunny If you bought huge chicken breasts like i did be sure to split them! Mine turned into chicken cordon mountains lol 3 years agoHelpful (115) ahoy I added paprika and cayenne to flavor the chicken. Could use a little more salt. I also used panko and it worked perfectly as well. Make sure the chicken is thin enough to cook through. I used toothpicks to keep the chicken rolled up. I would definitely make it again. Family loved it. I had mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli as sides. 3 years agoHelpful (96) Ashley Davis I refrigerated the rolls for a couple of hours instead of just 30 mins and I didn’t have any problem keeping my rolls together. I do recommend seasoning each chicken breast individually rather than all together, since they didn’t season evenly for me in a bowl. I also added extra Dijon in the sauce to give the sauce more kick. Roll tightly for a good spiral! 3 years agoHelpful (95) Maggie Chapman Fried 3min each side then put it in the oven for 18min at 350😍 It was delicious!!! 3 years agoHelpful (83) Daniel Cerna Used an air fryer instead, 350f for 14 mins, flip 14 and done. 3 years agoHelpful (73) the_fat_samoyed This was very tasty except I found it very hard to roll even after thinly cutting and pounding the chicken. I also baked it after frying since it was turning too brown. All worth it though! 3 years agoHelpful (69) ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT Get the Tasty App Get the Tasty Newsletter Email address (required)Sign up This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Super tender and great. The sauce was a perfect pairing.

Excellent dish! I followed to the tee except cut the entire recipe in half since there are only two if us. Baked it for 15 minutes after getting it crispy in the oil. The sauce was A+

Bad pic but great meal This is so delicious!!! It was moist and had a great flavor. I fried it then put it in the oven on 300F while i made the sauce and the side dishes. I did add a splash of white wine to the sauce. I am pretty impressed with myself on this one 😁
