Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
This is one of those comforting weeknight dinners that looks fancy but comes together with hardly any fuss. Instead of spending hours in the kitchen, you get all the classic flavors—melty cheese, savory ham, and juicy chicken—with just a few simple steps.
Ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to about ½-inch thick
6 mozzarella string cheese sticks
6 slices of ham
½ cup melted butter
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay the flattened chicken breasts on a clean work surface. Top each piece with a slice of ham and a cheese stick. Roll the chicken up snugly around the filling and secure the seams with toothpicks.
- Dip each chicken roll in the melted butter, making sure it’s coated well, then roll it in the seasoned bread crumbs. Arrange the rolls in a shallow baking dish.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely browned and the juices run clear.
