Description
Savor the classic flavors of chicken cordon bleu, featuring tender chicken wrapped around savory turkey and gooey cheese, all coated in a crispy breadcrumb crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of deli turkey (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese (or your choice of cheese)
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lay each breast flat, place two slices of turkey and one slice of cheese on one side, then fold over to encase the filling.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and roll in breadcrumbs until well coated.
- Arrange each breaded chicken breast seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
