Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grate the Parmesan cheese if not already done.
- Slice the Swiss cheese if not pre-sliced.
- Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board.
- Carefully slice through the middle of each chicken breast to create a pocket (but do not cut all the way through).
- Place one slice of ham and one slice (or some shreds) of Swiss cheese into each chicken breast pocket.
- Fold the chicken breasts over to enclose the filling.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg.
- Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it's well coated.
- In another shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with the black pepper and a dash of salt.
- Roll each egg-coated chicken breast in the Parmesan mixture to coat it evenly.
- Place an oven-safe skillet or baking dish over medium heat and melt the butter until it is bubbly.
- Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden brown.
- Move the skillet or baking dish to the preheated oven. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.
- Serve the Parmesan Chicken Cordon Bleu hot, perhaps with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use thin slices of ham and cheese to make it easier to roll up the chicken breasts.
- To keep the chicken rolls together, use toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- For a crispy exterior, combine grated parmesan cheese with breadcrumbs and press onto the rolled chicken before baking.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
