Recipe Instructions:
-
Pound chicken breasts flat: Lay each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
-
-
Top each with ham and cheese: Lay a slice of deli ham on top of each flattened chicken breast, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese.
-
Roll up and secure with toothpick: Roll each chicken breast tightly, starting from one end to the other. Secure the roll with toothpicks to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
-
Melt butter in an 8-inch saucepan: In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s sizzling.
-
Roll chicken in flour and sauté: Roll each chicken roll-up in flour, coating it evenly. Place the coated chicken rolls in the skillet and sauté for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are lightly browned on all sides and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken rolls from the skillet and keep them warm.
-
Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, add the crushed chicken bouillon cube and minced garlic. Cook for a minute until fragrant.
-
Add milk and flour: Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of reserved flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to create a roux. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and bubbly.
-
Season with parsley: Stir in the chopped parsley and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Coat chicken with sauce: Return the cooked chicken rolls to the skillet, turning them to coat evenly in the creamy sauce.
-
Serve: Once the chicken rolls are coated in the sauce and heated through, remove the toothpicks and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Enjoy your flavorful Chicken Cordon Bleu with its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and savory ham and cheese filling! 🍽️🥂
