INSIDE-OUT CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons fig jam
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
8 thin slices black forest ham
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cups baby greens

Steps:

  • Mix the jam, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
  • Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Place the chicken on the plastic and brush half of the jam mixture evenly on top of each breast. Mound a quarter of the cheese on each piece of chicken, then wrap 2 slices of ham around each breast to cover the cheese. Place another piece of plastic over the chicken and gently pound with a mallet or heavy skillet until about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through but still moist, 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the shallot, mustard, vinegar and the remaining jam mixture in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to make a smooth dressing.
  • Place each piece of chicken on a plate and drizzle with dressing. Toss the greens with the remaining dressing; serve with the chicken.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your dish. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Be Patient: Cooking chicken cordon bleu takes time and patience. Don't rush the process or you may end up with overcooked chicken or melted cheese.
  • Pay Attention to Cooking Times: The cooking times in this recipe are approximate. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Cordon Bleu Rest: After cooking, let the chicken cordon bleu rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Inside-out chicken cordon bleu is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and patience. By following the tips in this recipe, you can ensure that your chicken cordon bleu turns out perfectly. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
