Time 1h20m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed
3 slices cooked ham
3 slices swiss cheese
1 egg
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2-3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2-1 teaspoon cumin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper
6 slices bacon, uncooked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken bullion cubes, crushed up, the bread crumbs, (or I used 6 pieces of toast, crushed into crumbs) cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half long ways leaving one side intact. Insert one slice of the sliced pre-cooked ham and one slice of Swiss cheese into center of each chicken breast.
  • Beat the egg in a mixing bowl and coat each chicken breast. Then coat each one in the bread crumb mixture. Wrap two pieces of bacon around each chicken breast, not overlapping.
  • Wrap each piece of chicken individually in a piece of aluminum foil loosely so that it can be opened on the top. Place all three in a 13 x 9 inches baking dish. Cook for 1 hour, 15 minutes. It may take less time (again, this was the first time doing this). At that point, turn oven to broil at 400 degrees. Open the tops of each of the chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking the bacon.

I'm not a big fan of chicken cordon bleu, but this recipe was actually pretty good.

I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of cheese and I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The sauce was a little too salty for my taste.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I overcooked it.

I had some trouble getting the bacon to stay wrapped around the chicken. I ended up using toothpicks to hold it in place.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful.

This was the best chicken cordon bleu I've ever had! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor and the cheese was gooey and melted perfectly.
