Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ¼ inch, season with salt and pepper, then layer Swiss cheese and ham. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Set up your dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in three shallow dishes.
- Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and roll in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet, sauté the breaded chicken rolls for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer chicken rolls to the baking dish, bake for 20 to 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the creamy sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour, then gradually adding milk until thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard.
- Serve the chicken rolls on a platter, drizzle with creamy sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
