Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

Cordon Bleu is a dish named after the symbol of French nobility. Luckily, we don’t need knighthood to materialize all of our desires onto our dining table.

As I lately have a little time, I had been surfing on the internet a few days ago. Attempting to find fresh, intriguing thoughts, inspirational recipes that I’ve never used before, to amaze my loved ones with. Searching for a long time but couldn’t discover too many interesting stuff. Just before I thought to give up on it, I found this yummy and simple dessert by chance. It seemed so mouth-watering on its photo, that called for quick actions.

It had been not so difficult to imagine how it’s made, its taste and just how much my husband might enjoy it. Actually, it is extremely easy to delight the man in terms of puddings. Anyway, I went to the webpage: Suncakemom and then used the detailed instuctions that had been coupled with great photographs of the method. It just makes life rather easy. I can imagine that it’s a bit of a hassle to shoot photos in the midst of baking in the kitchen as you usually have sticky hands thus i seriously appreciate the time and effort she put in to make this post .

That being said I’m encouraged presenting my very own dishes similarly. Many thanks the concept.

I had been fine tuning the original mixture create it for the taste of my family. I’ve got to tell you it turned out a terrific success. They enjoyed the taste, the consistency and loved having a sweet such as this during a lively week. They quite simply requested more, a lot more. Thus the next occasion I am not going to make the same mistake. I’m gonna double the amount to get them delighted.

Without breadcrumb:

Slice up the chicken breast. We can cut one breast horizontally into 4 reasonably slim slices.

We can beat them a bit slimmer with a meat mallet. Chicken breasts are tender on their own and will tear pretty quickly if beaten too hard so be gentle.

Lay the ham on top of the sliced chicken breasts then place on the sliced cheese, as well. We use cured Jamon Serrano but bacon or sliced ham can also be used.

Roll up the meat. This requires a bit of fiddling as the meat is slippery but it can be done pretty quickly.

Place the rolled up chicken breasts onto a tray.

Optionally sprinkle cheese, parsley or any spices of choice on top. Don’t forget the salt and pepper though.

Place them into a 350°F / 180°C preheated oven for about 30 minutes.

With breadcrumb:

Lay the ham on top of the sliced chicken breast then place on the sliced cheese, as well. We used cured Jamon Serrano but bacon or sliced ham can also be used.

Roll up the meat and secure them with pins or toothpicks. This requires some fiddling, especially if we managed to cut the meat to smaller than easily manageable pieces. Mind to stick the needles along the side the breasts will be rolled.

Beat eggs in a medium bowl, spread flour and breadcrumbs onto a big flat plate.

Roll the rolled up chicken breasts in the flour.

Transfer the floured meat into the beaten eggs. Make sure all sides are covered with the eggs.

Take it over to the breadcrumbs plate and roll it around. Dip both ends into the breadcrumbs too.

Bring the breadcrumbed chicken breast back into the beaten eggs bowl and cover it again with eggs.

Roll it again in breadcrumbs and make sure the ends are done too. No meat or especially cheese should be visible at this point otherwise the cheese will leak out. If necessary do the eggs-breadcrumbs step another time.

Heat oil to medium to high and fry the breadcrumbed Cordon Bleu in it until golden brown, for about 6-8 minutes. We need a somewhat higher temperature to create a solid crust quickly around the cheese before it melts.

Take them out and let the oil drip off. Before serving it, don’t forget to take out the meat pins or toothpicks.
