Crispy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
Crispy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.

The dish is made with chicken breasts that are stuffed with ham and cheese, then coated in breadcrumbs and baked until crispy.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Then, prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even thickness. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up the chicken breasts and secure them with toothpicks.
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat it evenly.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
