Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of plastic and lay 2 slices of prosciutto neatly over the top to cover the breast and sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the prosciutto. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll inside the plastic wrap. Squeeze the log gently to seal and twist both ends tight to form a nice log. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper. Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic and kosher salt, pepper, and melted butter. The butter will help the crust brown. Beat together the eggs and season so the flour, the eggs and the crumbs are all seasoned.
- Remove the plastic wrap. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and gently coat in the bread crumbs. Lightly coat a baking pan with olive oil and carefully transfer the roulades onto it. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Cut into pinwheels and serve on top of Brussels Sprout Hash with Chicken Jus and Cranberry Chutney, if desired.
CHICKEN CORDON BLEU II
'Cordon Bleu' is a French term, literally translated as 'blue ribbon', that originally referred to an award for culinary excellence given to women cooks! The term can now apply to any superior cook (yes, men too), and also to this dish (chicken, ham and Swiss cheese slices, breaded and sauteed). This yummy version adds paprika and a creamy white wine sauce worthy of its own blue ribbon. Two blue ribbon tastes in wedded bliss -- Chicken Cordon Bleu II!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- At a slight angle, cut 6 slits into each of the chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through. You should leave roughly 1/4 inch unsliced. Brush the top of each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of the mustard.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, butter, salt and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the chicken, using your hands to press the mixture into the mustard. Place a quarter piece of cheese and a half-moon piece of Canadian bacon into each of the slits in each chicken breast. Transfer the stuffed chicken breasts to a baking sheet.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
- Freezing instructions: Once the uncooked chicken breasts are assembled, place 4 onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet; repeat with the remaining chicken breasts on a separate lined baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheets to the freezer until the chicken breasts are frozen through, at least 3 hours. Transfer the chicken breasts to 2 wax paper-lined foil pans. Label, date and freeze until ready to eat.
- When ready to eat, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bake the chicken breasts from frozen until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden, about 40 minutes. Serve as directed above.
SUNNY'S HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS (CHICKEN CORDON BLEU)
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix the ham and cheese. Gently slice a lengthwise pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff each breast with the ham and cheese mixture and secure with a skewer or a few toothpicks.
- In a medium shallow bowl, add the flour and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. In a second medium shallow bowl, add the mustard, paprika, eggs, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and whisk to combine. In the third medium shallow bowl, add the panko. Run each piece of chicken through these bowls in the order of setting them up: flour, egg then panko.
- In a large straight-sided pan, add enough oil to just cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch. Heat on medium high and when the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken in batches, placing each piece in the oil away from you so there is less splatter. Add more oil between batches if needed. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt and a tiny spritz of lemon.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, free-range chicken breasts, good quality ham, and flavorful Swiss cheese. Look for ingredients that are flavorful and high-quality.
- Pound the chicken breasts evenly: This will help them cook evenly and ensure that they are tender and juicy. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Season the chicken breasts: Before cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Cook the chicken breasts properly: Chicken breasts can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are pan-frying, baking, or grilling. Be sure to cook the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcook the chicken breasts: Overcooked chicken breasts will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they are cooked through.
- Use a flavorful filling: The filling is what really makes chicken cordon bleu special. Be sure to use a filling that is flavorful and that complements the chicken. Some popular fillings include ham and cheese, mushrooms and onions, or spinach and feta.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: Chicken cordon bleu is often served with a dipping sauce, such as a béchamel sauce or a tomato sauce. This adds an extra layer of flavor and richness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Chicken cordon bleu is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. It is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a special dish to make, give chicken cordon bleu a try. You won't be disappointed!
