Stuffed Chicken Breasts (Cordon Bleu)
"This versatile recipe will work with any filling, just make about 1 1/2 cups of it (3 tbsp per breast). Also, if you don't have a meat mallet you can use a heavy glass bottle (just don't miss!)."

- Serves:

6
ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1⁄4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 3⁄4 cup diced deli ham
- 3⁄4 cup shredded swiss cheese
directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (Ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).
- Remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.
- Mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.
- Fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so I just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).
- Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.
- Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).
- Remove toothpicks before serving!

Great recipe. This was my first time pounding the chicken breasts flat and it took some practice to get right, but turned out great. I made this four our euchre club dinner and everyone love it. -
Just made these tonight. I didn't chop up the ham, just used one full slice along with one full slice of swiss cheese for each chicken breast, rolled 'em, breaded 'em and baked.<br/>These were so good. The cheese was oozing out and the ham gave them such a nice flavour.<br/>Everyone loved them! -
I added paprika to the breadcrumbs to give it some colour, turned out great. -
Excellant !! I only had to make one change. I thought I had olive oil but didn't so I brushed the chicken with mayo then continued. Either way this is a easy and scrumptious recipe! -
This was yummy! I used mozzarella instead of swiss for the DSS, and had one looking like a run over porcupine (all the toothpicks sticking out) but once they cooked and I removed the "needles" they held together and prsented nicely. Thanks for the recipe MommyMakes!
