CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH DIJON CREAM SAUCE



Chicken Cordon Bleu with Dijon Cream Sauce image

Is it actually French? It's served at every French restaurant here in the States, but I'm pretty sure it's, like, Swedish. Regardless, it's breaded cheese and meat - tough to go wrong. Enjoy!

Time 2h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (6 ounce) chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1 slice ham steak
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
toothpicks
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups Italian-style panko bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it down the center, lengthwise, leaving about 1 inch of connective tissue at the other end. Spread open like a book, and rub each down with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let rest for 30 minutes to absorb salt.
  • Cover each breast with plastic wrap and pound thin with a meat mallet until roughly doubled in surface area. Using a very sharp knife or meat slicer, cut the ham steak into very thin slices.
  • Spread 1/4 cup Gruyere over each chicken breast, then divide 1/4 of the ham between them. Repeat, making 2 layers. Fold the chicken over like an omelet, enclosing the cheese and ham. Secure the open edges with 4 to 5 toothpicks.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a second bowl. Carefully dredge each chicken breast in flour, coat with egg wash, then dredge in the breading. Transfer to a wire rack and move to freezer for 20 minutes to help the breading adhere to the meat.
  • Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Place chicken in a baking dish.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush each side down with melted butter and flip. Bake for 25 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour milk into a saucepan set over low heat and simmer until steaming, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter and stir in flour to create a roux. Let the roux cook to burn off the flour taste, stirring constantly, 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in hot milk, letting the sauce come together before adding more milk, until everything is well incorporated. The sauce will still be a little thin. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring constantly until cheese in melted evenly into the sauce. Stir in Dijon mustard. Simmer sauce until it is at least thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove chicken from oven and transfer to plates. Remove toothpicks. Ladle sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH MORNAY SAUCE



Chicken Cordon Bleu with Mornay Sauce image

Easy, yet elegant. To mix things up, you can add in some spinach or sliced asparagus (as in the photo above). I often use panko in place of breadcrumbs.

Provided by Kathleen Flinn

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 Chicken breasts (about 6 ounces (170 grams) each)
Coarse salt (ground black pepper)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 slices Swiss cheese (preferably Gruyère (about 2-3 ounces))
4 slices very thinly sliced prosciutto or ham ((about 2 ounces))
2 eggs (beaten slightly)
1 cup about 100g seasoned breadcrumbs
½ cup 125 ml dry white wine
1 cup 250 ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup 250 ml cold milk or cream
Salt (pepper to taste)
2 tablespoons grated Swiss cheese (preferably Gruyère)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C. Butterfly the chicken breasts using a sharp knife to carefully cut into one side until it opens like a book. Season the interior with salt and pepper, and coat with 1 teaspoon mustard. Top with a slice of cheese, then a slice of prosciutto or ham. Close and secure with string or toothpicks. Dredge this chicken preparation in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and then roll in breadcrumbs. Repeat for the other breasts. Bake in a dish atop parchment paper or foil for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the parcels are firm to the touch, and juices running from the chicken are clear and no longer pink, or a thermeter reaches 180° F/80° C.
  • Heat the wine in a saucepan over high heat and reduce by half. Add the stock, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Keep warm until ready to add to the below sauce. (Don't skip this step, your sauce will break.)
  • In another saucepan, make a roux by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbly. Whisk in the flour and continue to whisk for eight to 10 minutes, until it smells like popcorn. Add the cold milk and whisk in completely. Whisk in the wine-stock mixture and season with salt and pepper. Add in the grated cheese and stir until melted through. Adjust consistency by adding more stock if sauce is too thick.
  • Remove the string from the chicken. Top with the sauce.

CRISPY, CREAMY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU RECIPE BY TASTY



Crispy, Creamy Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe by Tasty image

There's nothing we love more than a crispy, succulent, perfectly-fried piece of fried chicken. But we also love gourmet meals. You know, the ones that you sit down to in the candlelight? Those ones. Well, our easy chicken Cordon Bleu is the best of both worlds: sounds fancy but really? It's just some really, really good fried chicken. That, we can promise.

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
16 slices swiss cheese
½ lb ham, thinly sliced
peanut oil, or vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
¼ cup dijon mustard
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, tossing to coat evenly.
  • On a cutting board, place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and place 2 slices of Swiss cheese, then 2 slices of ham, then another layer of Swiss cheese, and another layer of ham. Evenly roll the chicken and place onto a new sheet of plastic wrap.
  • Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and use the excess plastic on the sides to twist, firming up the roll of chicken cordon bleu as you work. Tie the excess plastic. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then chill the rolls in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a tall-sided pan with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil to 325°F (170°C).
  • After the rolls are set, prepare 2 separate large, wide dishes with the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.
  • Place the breaded chicken cordon bleu in the oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is an even golden brown. If a good color is achieved and the chicken's center is still not 165°F (75°C), place the chicken cordon bleu on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and finish the chicken in the oven at 325°F (170°C) until that temperature is reached.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the garlic until soft. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
  • Add the milk and whisk until fully combined with the roux and no lumps remain. Continue whisking until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened.
  • Add the mustard, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Slice the chicken and serve drizzled with Dijon sauce.
  • Enjoy!

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.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU II



Chicken Cordon Bleu II image

'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!

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
