Chicken Cordon Bleu Swiss Cheese (Print Version)

Tender rolled chicken stuffed with turkey and Swiss cheese, coated in golden breadcrumbs and topped with creamy cheese sauce.

# Ingredients:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 8 slices deli-style turkey
03 - 4 slices Swiss cheese

→ Breading

04 - 1 cup flour
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1/2 cup milk
07 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Sauce

10 - 4 tablespoons butter, divided
11 - Additional Swiss cheese for sauce

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
02 - Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until approximately 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
03 - Lay two slices of turkey and one slice of Swiss cheese on each flattened chicken breast. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
04 - Prepare three separate dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and a third with breadcrumbs combined with garlic powder and seasoning.
05 - Coat each chicken roll in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with seasoned breadcrumbs.
06 - Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
07 - Transfer the seared chicken rolls to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
08 - In a saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in a small amount of flour, then gradually add milk and Swiss cheese, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy.
09 - Remove toothpicks or twine from chicken rolls. Slice and serve drizzled with the Swiss cheese sauce.

# Notes:

01 - Choose quality ingredients for the best flavor outcome.
02 - Ensuring chicken is pounded to even thickness is critical for proper cooking.
03 - Season generously throughout the preparation process.
04 - Panko breadcrumbs provide superior crunchiness compared to regular breadcrumbs.
05 - Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes after baking for maximum juiciness.
