  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices ham
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • Prepare the chicken: In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture.
  • Coat the chicken: In another shallow dish, combine beaten eggs, panko bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Dip chicken breasts in the egg mixture, then coat with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  • Assemble the chicken: Place a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham on each chicken breast. Roll up chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks.
  • Cook the chicken: Return chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until heated through.
  • Serve: Serve chicken cordon bleu with the sauce.
  • Tips:
  • For a richer flavor, use Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss cheese.
