Oven Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 slices of Swiss cheese
– 4 thin slices of deli ham
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

– 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Lay each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham on each chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Carefully roll up each breast, securing with toothpicks if necessary to keep them closed.
  5. In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper
  6. Brush each chicken roll-up with Dijon mustard, then dredge in flour, dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Arrange the breaded roll-ups in the prepared baking dish and drizzle with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. And remember to remove those toothpicks!
