EASY BAKED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU (NUWAVE/FLAVORWAVE OVENS)



Easy Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu (Nuwave/Flavorwave Ovens) image

This is a fast and easy way to make dinner in your Nuwave/Flavorwave Oven. Made it tonight for my friends and have raves. Made up of "pre made" Garlic Mash potatoes and you have a great dinner in under 25 min (cooking time). 6-10 min to bread & roll them up. Note; You can defrost the chicken for 5 min on 1/2 power or 5 on Nuwave oven. I used defrosted chicken. Note: if your chicken is frozen you and defrost in your Nuwave oven/fFlavorwave oven. I have used 5-8 mins to defrost. Also, a quick way is to put your chicken breast into a full sized freezer bag prior to pouding it thinn. I hope this helps. Note: I use italian style bread crumbs, I also add some granulated garlic, salt & pepper, and some assiago cheese if I have some on hand. Enjoy!

CREAMY EASY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITHOUT THE WORK



Creamy Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Without the Work image

Going through old recipes and finding all kinds of things ... One's I completely forgot about which can be fun. Well this is not completely my recipe. This came out of some small grocery store book years ago, which is long since gone. I did on search with Campbells and couldn't find it, so it's origin is history I guess. I still love it even though it has canned soup, which is something I don't like to use, but I still make this and it is always well liked. I have added some fresh herbs and I like to use a good smoked ham but it can't get much easier.

26 ritz crackers
4 slice bread
6 Tbsp butter ; melted
salt and pepper
ap flour for dredging
3 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
8 slice thin deli ham
1 to 1-1/2 c shredded swiss cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In the food processor pulse up the ritz crackers and torn up bread a few times to make coarse crumbs.
  • 2. Drizzle the melted butter over the crumbs and pulse a few more times to incorporate the butter into the crumbs.
  • 3. Pour the crumbs onto a cookie sheet and place in a 450° oven and cook until lightly browned about 3-5 minutes.
  • 4. Into the fat end of the raw chicken breast about 1/3rd the way down from the end , cut a slit about 3" long and make a pocket inside the breast , leaving about a 1/4" all around the chicken breast intact.
  • 5. Place about 2 Tablespoons of the shredded Swiss cheese along the center of the ham slice and roll up tight like a cigar shape. (I had to use 4 round slices of ham and put them together because I bought the wrong cut of ham)
  • 6. Cut the ends off of the rolled up ham to make the rolls uniform in length to the chicken breasts.
  • 7. Stuff 2 ham rolls beside each other in the prepared pocket of the chicken breast.
  • 8. Pull the top cut over and Press the sides of the chicken breast slit part together to seal the slit in the side of the chicken breast.
  • 9. Salt and pepper each side and place each chicken breast onto a platter.
  • 10. Once you have all of them together cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to seal together for 20 minutes *this is a very important step "DON'T SKIP THIS STEP"
  • 11. Add the Dijon mustard , garlic and onion powder to the 3 eggs.
  • 12. Prepare 3 dishes for dredging the chicken in. one for the flour , egg mixture and one for the toasted bread crumb mixture.
  • 13. Dredge the chicken in the flour and pat off any excess flour.
  • 14. Next using kitchen thongs dredge the floured chicken into the egg mixture.
  • 15. Next dredge into the toasted crumb mixture , patting the crumbs into the chicken breasts.
  • 16. Place onto a cookie sheet and place in a preheated oven @ 450° on the bottom rack for 10 minutes ; this will set the bottom.
  • 17. Than lower the oven temp to 400° and raise the chicken to the center rack and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • 18. Once you remove them from the oven , place tin foil in a tent fashion over them (not tight because you want them to stay crispy and not sweat) so they can rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them.

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked ham and cheese slices.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the chicken breasts with melted butter before baking.
  • Serve the chicken cordon bleu with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
