Chicken Cordon Bleu Plate Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven, and place 1/2 cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to slice a chicken breast horizontally, starting at the thickest part and cutting almost to the other side (do not cut all the way through) until, when opened, breast lies flat. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound to an even 1/4 inch thick. Remove top layer of plastic; season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken. Layer 1 1/2 ounces each of cheese and ham over surface of a breast; fold in half to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining chicken, cheese, and ham.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place flour in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with 2 tablespoons water in another dish; season with salt and pepper. Place panko in a third dish; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium. Meanwhile, dredge a breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, turning to evenly coat. Dredge in panko, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining chicken. Add half the chicken to skillet and cook, turning once halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, and cheese is melted, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Keep warm in oven. Cook remaining chicken with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• prepare your boneless skinless chicken breasts by slicing them almost in half through the side - butterflying them.
• spread them open and set aside.
• pour your milk on a plate the appropriate size for your chicken breast to sit on.
• sprinkle your shake 'n' bake mixed with pepper to taste on another plate the same size.
• place two slices of ham together neatly.
• in the center of the ham sprinkle two teaspoons of blue cheese.
• roll the ham rather tightly to avoid losing your cheese.
• place the ham in the middle of the chicken breast and close it - secure with a couple of toothpicks.
• gently place the chicken in the milk and with your hand pat the top with the milk - a gentle milk bath will secure the shake 'n' bake and keep the chicken moist.
• now gently place in the shake 'n' bake and pat crumbles on the top and sides.
• place the breasts in a baking dish and cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes before removing the toothpics and serve.
