Chicken Cordon Bleu

Any meal that is complimented by my two-year-old is considered a winner at our house.  Why is it that his praise ranks higher than all others?  :) 


Chicken Cordon Bleu

Recipe from: Sarah Metzger

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 slice of ham for each breast
1 slice of Swiss cheese for each breast
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 TBSP Dijon mustard
2/3 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Butterfly each chicken breast and open as a book. Lay a slice of ham and slice of cheese on each breast. Leave 1/2” of edge uncovered and close each piece using toothpicks.

In bowl, combine egg whites, buttermilk and mustard. Blend until creamy.

In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.

Gently dip each piece of chicken in egg mixture, then into crumb mix.

If freezer cooking, freeze at this point and follow directions below after thawing chicken.

Set on backing rack or in baking dish with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
