Crispy Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Apply a non-stick cooking spray liberally to a 7x11-inch baking dish.
4
Thump the chicken breasts into thin layers, approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
5
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper onto each piece of chicken, ensuring an even coating.
6
Place one slice of Swiss cheese and one slice of ham on top of each breast, creating a harmonious union.
7
Roll up each breast and secure it with toothpicks to maintain its shape.
8
Position the rolled chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
9
Sprinkle a generous amount of bread crumbs over each breast to add texture and depth.
10
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake until it is no longer pink, taking approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
11
Withdraw the chicken from the oven and place one half-slice of Swiss cheese on top of each breast.
12
Return the chicken to the oven, allowing the cheese to melt and blend with the other flavors, taking around 3 to 5 minutes.
13
Remove the toothpicks and serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional Swiss cheese if desired.
