Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons salted butter
2 cups small-cubed ham
1 1/4 cups grated Swiss cheese
1 1/4 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
4 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Put the ham on a paper towel-lined plate and microwave for about 3 minutes to reduce the moisture content. Mix together the Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl.
  • Put about a third of chicken in a layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half the ham. Sprinkle over 1/4 cup of the mixed cheese. Repeat 1 more time, then finish with a layer of chicken.
  • Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Put the panko in a bowl, pour in half of the melted butter, mix well and set aside.
  • Add the flour to the remaining butter in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking out any lumps. Whisk in the milk, broth, Dijon and cayenne and let it cook until it begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the sauce over the casserole. Sprinkle over the remaining 1 cup cheese, then the panko mix. Bake until the top is browned and the casserole is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

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:

  • To ensure even cooking, make sure the chicken is thinly sliced.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the chicken breasts without cutting all the way through.
  • Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, both inside and out, to enhance the flavor.
  • Place a slice of ham and cheese inside each chicken pocket, ensuring that it fits snugly.
  • Use a toothpick to secure the opening of the chicken pockets, preventing the filling from escaping during cooking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, making sure it evenly coats the bottom.
  • Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a single layer on top of the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  • Bake the quiche in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing and serving, to ensure the filling has time to set.
