Ingredients

  • Ingredients needed to make Chicken Cordon Bleu
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 4 oz four cheese blend shredded - or cheese of your choice. Swiss cheese is usually preferred
  • 2 large slices of Smithfield® Anytime Favorites sliced ham
  • Italian style bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • sprinkling of garlic salt and pepper
  • Dijon Sauce
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 5 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan Romano cheese or 4 blend cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Firstly, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Then place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a mallet to flatten them to about ¼" thick. I have a meat mallet, but you can also use a rolling pin - it will just take longer.
  • Next, top each chicken with a slice of ham and then a sprinkling of cheese.
  • I used about 3 tablespoons of cheese on each piece. Feel free to use as much as you want!
  • Sprinkle the Italian season and garlic salt and pepper on top, then roll up the piece of chicken tightly. I used bamboo skewers to hold each piece together.
  • Sprinkle your bread crumbs on the top of the chicken breasts and pat down to make sure that they stick during cooking.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • The Dijon sauce is probably the hardest part of this recipe!
  • You're going to melt your butter over medium heat, and once it's melted, add in your flour and whisk until its golden. Add in 1 cup of the milk, then the dijon mustard and then whisk until it's nice and creamy.
  • It is going to be thick and that's okay! Keep adding the additional cup of milk until you reach the consistency you like. Next, add in your cheese and whisk away!
