Oven Chicken Cordon Bleu is a delightful twist on a classic dish, combining the crunch of golden-baked chicken with savory layers of ham and melted Swiss cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4–6 thick-cut ham slices
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound to about ½ inch thickness.
- Layer one slice of ham and one slice of cheese onto each flattened breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
