Bacon Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipes

BACON CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mat, or spray with cooking spray.
• Use mallet to beat chicken to about 1/3" thickness. If pieces are very wide, cut them in half so that the chicken strips are about 3" in width.
• Heat large skillet over medium heat. Place bacon in skillet and cook for about 8 minutes (flipping halfway through), or until the strips begin to crisp. Remove from pan and set on paper towels to drain.
• In a shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together eggs and olive oil.
• In a second shallow bowl or baking dish, stir together salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, paprika, oregano, and garlic powder.
• Lay out pieces of chicken on cutting board or other working surface. On top of each piece of chicken, place half a piece of swiss cheese, half a piece of bacon, and a slice of ham.
• Roll chicken, starting with the most narrow part. Then, dip all sides of the chicken roll in the egg wash, then dredge all sides through the panko mixture, and place roll seam side down on prepared baking sheet.
• Spray tops of rolls lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tops of rolls being to brown and chicken is cooked through. To check that the chicken is cooked through, you may cut into the thickest piece of chicken on the pan.

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken bullion cubes, crushed up, the bread crumbs, (or I used 6 pieces of toast, crushed into crumbs) cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half long ways leaving one side intact. Insert one slice of the sliced pre-cooked ham and one slice of Swiss cheese into center of each chicken breast.
• Beat the egg in a mixing bowl and coat each chicken breast. Then coat each one in the bread crumb mixture. Wrap two pieces of bacon around each chicken breast, not overlapping.
• Wrap each piece of chicken individually in a piece of aluminum foil loosely so that it can be opened on the top. Place all three in a 13 x 9 inches baking dish. Cook for 1 hour, 15 minutes. It may take less time (again, this was the first time doing this). At that point, turn oven to broil at 400 degrees. Open the tops of each of the chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking the bacon.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH CANADIAN BACON

Steps:

• DIRECTIONS Butterfly chicken breasts to get them uniform in size before pounding. To do this, run sharp knife under tenderloin from inside center almost to edge and then fold it open. Then turn breast around and do same by running knife from center out almost to edge and fold that open (picture the wings of a butterfly). Cover with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat for other three breasts. Divide Jones Dairy Farm Canadian Bacon and swiss cheese into four piles (each pile should be roughly 1 1/2 oz). Place one pile of Canadian Bacon and swiss in center of each breast. Fold edges up and over filling leaving no openings. Using tooth picks or skewers, secure sides to each other so that filling stays in place. Set aside. Mix flour, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Mix eggs and milk in second bowl. Place seasoned bread crumbs in third bowl. Gently lift each breast and roll in flour. Shake off excess and roll in egg wash. Finally roll in bread crumbs. Refrigerate stuffed breasts for 30 minutes. Meanwhile make pan sauce. In small pan, place stock and cook until reduced to one cup. Add milk, heat and hold - do not boil. In medium pan, melt butter and add thyme. Cook over medium heat for one minute, then add flour. Continue to cook for three minutes on medium, stirring often. Add milk mixture to butter mixture one third at a time, whipping as you add each third. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg, stir to combine and remove from heat. Preheat oven to 375°. In large sauté pan, heat four tablespoons of butter with 1/4 cup oil over medium to medium high heat. Remove chicken from refrigerator and place in hot pan skewered side down. Cook to brown on all sides, making sure they don​'t brown too quickly. Reduce to medium heat if needed. Place browned chicken breasts skewered side down in a 9x9 baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, uncovered. A probe thermometer inserted into the center should be 140_. (Be advised that wherever you poke with the thermometer will ooze melted cheese). Remove from oven and slide tooth picks or skewers out. Let rest for two minutes tented with foil. While chicken is resting, bring sauce back to temperature. To serve, slice thick slices on a cutting board and transfer to a platter, or serve half or whole portions, topped with sauce.

BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH A CREAMY MUSTARD WINE

Steps:

• Chicken -- Now you can buy your chicken breasts scallopini and pounded for you, and pay a pretty price. Or you can just buy a "regular" chicken breast and put them between some saran wrap and pound away. I use a meat mallet, but use a rolling pin or a can of vegetables, brick, back of a frying pan or pot. Anything will work. Just pound thin.
• Stuff the chicken -- season well with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Then then lay a slice of the ham down and then some shredded gruyere or slices or swiss cheese. Either works just fine and then roll up. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around the chicken roll and secure with a tooth pick.
• In a oven proof saute pan melt the butter and olive oil and bring to a medium hight heat. Then add the chicken and saute on each side until lightly brown, and the bacon begins to get crisp. Then transfer the chicken to the oven to finish cooking at 400 for about 10-12 minutes is all. Just makes sure the bacon is crisp and done. It doesn't take long. Remove and transfer to a plate and cover. It will continue to cook.
• Sauce -- get everything ready. This is a quick sauce. Once the chicken comes out just transfer the pan back to the stove top. On medium heat, add the onion to the pan and cook just a minute. Add the wine, broth and let reduce just a minute or so. Reduce the heat and remove when you add the cream, mustard and seasoning and herbs. Return to the heat and just stir and let reduce just a bit on medium low and heat to combine all the ingredients and naturally thicken. It takes 3-4 minutes if that.
• Dinner is served -- chicken is done and sauce is perfect. Serve the chicken roll with the creamy mustard sauce. As I said, I love some wild rice or rice pilaf with the sauce and some green beans on the side, but use anything you enjoy.
