Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients list for Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu

• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon Refined flour (maida)
• 1 teaspoon to taste black pepper powder
• 1 large ham slice
• 2 emmental cheese slices
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1½ tbsps + cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese powder
• 3-4 fresh parsley sprigs
• Oil for drizzling

Method

1. Preheat oven at 180°C. Place a silicon sheet on a baking tray.
2. Slit chicken breasts horizontally without cutting through. Open the flaps to get a butterfly shape.
3. Place them in between two sheets of cling wrap and cover them. Pound with a meat mallet.
4. Open the wrap, sprinkle little salt and pepper powder on top. Place ham slice and cheese slices on top and roll along with the cling wrap tightly into a cylinder. Remove the cling wrap after rolling into the cylinder.
5. Break egg in a bowl. Add salt, 1 tsp pepper powder, refined flour and 1½ tbsps breadcrumbs and whisk well.
6. Combine Parmesan cheese powder, ½ cup breadcrumbs, salt, pepper powder and roughly chopped parsley sprigs in another bowl and mix well.
7. Dip the chicken cylinder in the egg mixture and coat evenly in the cheese-crumb mixture. Place on the baking tray, drizzle little oil all around and put it in the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
8. Remove from oven, slice and serve hot.
