Herbed Breadcrumb-Crusted Chicken Cordon Bleu
Herbed Breadcrumb-Crusted Chicken Cordon Bleu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with chicken breasts that are stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese, then coated in a flavorful mixture of breadcrumbs and herbs. The result is a crispy, golden-brown crust that is bursting with flavor.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the thickest part of each breast. Stuff each pocket with a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese.
In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Serve the Herbed Breadcrumb-Crusted Chicken Cordon Bleu hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, and is sure to impress your guests with its delicious flavor and beautiful appearance.
