CRISPY, CREAMY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, tossing to coat evenly.
• On a cutting board, place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.
• Remove the plastic wrap and place 2 slices of Swiss cheese, then 2 slices of ham, then another layer of Swiss cheese, and another layer of ham. Evenly roll the chicken and place onto a new sheet of plastic wrap.
• Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and use the excess plastic on the sides to twist, firming up the roll of chicken cordon bleu as you work. Tie the excess plastic. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then chill the rolls in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat a tall-sided pan with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil to 325°F (170°C).
• After the rolls are set, prepare 2 separate large, wide dishes with the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.
• Place the breaded chicken cordon bleu in the oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is an even golden brown. If a good color is achieved and the chicken's center is still not 165°F (75°C), place the chicken cordon bleu on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and finish the chicken in the oven at 325°F (170°C) until that temperature is reached.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the garlic until soft. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
• Add the milk and whisk until fully combined with the roux and no lumps remain. Continue whisking until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened.
• Add the mustard, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Slice the chicken and serve drizzled with Dijon sauce.
• Enjoy!

SKINNY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 450.
• Cover each chicken breast with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallot, pound the chicken to approximately 1/4 inch thickness throughout. Go east and take your time- rushing the process with too much gusto just blows the chicken apart.
• Season both sides of the chicken with pepper and salt to taste.
• Turn chicken over so that the membrane layer is against the cutting board.
• Lay a piece of ham over each peice of chicken, followed with a slice of cheese and another layer of ham. Roll the chicken widthwise until it is a tight roll. Set aside.
• Using 3 shallow bowls, place the flour, breadcrumbs and the egg into each bowl.
• Dip each chicken roll first into the flour, then the egg, and then the breadcrumbs. Be sure each layer is completely coated. The breadcrumbs should completely cover the chicken evenly.
• On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the rolls with ample space between each roll.
• Bake 16-20 minutes until the chicken is firm to the touch (doesn't squish easily) and the breadcrumbs are nice and golden brown.
• During the baking process, mix together the lemon, mustard, mayonnaise and honey until smooth.
• After removing the golden brown chicken from the oven, drizzle 2-3 tsp of sauce over each chicken roll.
• ENJOY!
