This recipe pairs tender chicken breasts with savory ham and melted Swiss cheese, all seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. It's a great option for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Lightly coat each breast with all-purpose flour. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and mustard. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Allow the sauce to cook and reduce for about 5 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, placing them in the sauce.
- Top each chicken breast with a slice of ham and then Swiss cheese.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully transfer the chicken breasts to serving plates.
- Spoon some of the sauce over the top for extra flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- To add extra flavor, consider seasoning the flour with garlic powder or paprika.
- If you prefer a crispy outer layer, coat the chicken breasts in flour, then egg wash, followed by breadcrumbs before cooking.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender.
With this skillet chicken cordon bleu recipe, you can enjoy a gourmet meal right at home without the hassle of traditional cordon bleu preparation. The combination of flavors and the simplicity of this dish make it a winner for any occasion. Bon appétit!
