CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND MUSHROOM SAUCE



Chicken Cordon Bleu With Roasted Garlic and Mushroom Sauce image

This delicious version sounds like a lot of steps, but it actually comes together quite quickly. I like to serve with homemade rice pilaf and grilled veggies. You can use any kind of thinly sliced ham for this recipe, I've also used bacon and pancetta. Try experimenting with the cheese... I've found that Pepper Jack, Cheddar, Swiss, Blue, and Gorgonzola all make good variations.

ORIGINAL CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Original Chicken Cordon Bleu image

This classic French chicken dish, adapted from Jane and Michael Stern's book "American Gourmet," more than lives up to its name ("cordon bleu" means "blue ribbon"). It's also far easier to make than you may think. A chicken breast is pounded thin (we've been known to cheat by using pretrimmed cutlets), then wrapped around a slice of smoked ham and a bit of Swiss cheese, and secured with toothpicks. The roulade is coated in egg and bread crumbs, then pan-fried until golden brown, and a simple white wine cream sauce finishes it off.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large boneless and skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
4 thin slices smoked ham
2 ounces Swiss cheese, cut into 4 equal "fingers"
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chicken stock
3/4 cup white wine, heavy cream or additional chicken stock

Steps:

  • Lay the chicken breasts between pieces of wax paper and use a mallet to pound them to 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch thick. Take care not to pound holes in the chicken. Layer each breast with the ham, then place a finger of cheese in the center. Roll up to completely enclose the ham and cheese and secure with toothpicks.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg and coat with bread crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter. Add the chicken and cook, turning carefully with tongs, until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the stock to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Move the chicken to a warm platter.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of stock to the skillet, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring up browned bits clinging to the bottom, for 1 minute. Add the wine (or heavy cream or additional stock), lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the consistency of gravy, about 45 seconds. Pour over the chicken breasts and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for free-range, organic chicken and fresh, flavorful mushrooms.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken Cordon Bleu is best when the chicken is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give your dish a delicious, nutty flavor.
  • Make sure the ham is thinly sliced. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. You can use different types of cheese, ham, and vegetables to create your own unique Cordon Bleu.
  • Serve Chicken Cordon Bleu with your favorite sides. It goes well with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken Cordon Bleu is a classic dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its crispy coating, tender chicken, and flavorful filling, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give Chicken Cordon Bleu a try. You won't be disappointed.
