Chicken Cordon Bleu

Directions

Cordon Bleu

1. Step 1 complete

   Season your chicken breasts at least 30 minutes before preparation. We used a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. Step 2 complete

   Pound out your chicken breasts until they are ½ an inch thick. Place the pounded chicken on a sheet of plastic wrap. Layer the ham and cheese onto the chicken and roll up tightly. Then wrap the chicken roll very very tightly with the plastic wrap.

3. Step 3 complete

   Once you have rolled up all the chickens, place into a dish or plate and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Coating

1. Step 4 complete

   While the chicken chills, pulse the Blue Diamond Nut-Thins® Cheddar Cheese, in a food processor until completely crumbled. Place the crumbs into a bowl, and then fill one other bowl with flour and another one with the whisked eggs.

2. Step 5 complete

   Fill a pot or a large skillet with about 2 inches of oil. Begin preheating the oil to 325 ºF before dredging the chicken.

3. Step 6 complete

   Dredge the chicken in the flour, then eggs, then Nut-Thins® crumbs and fry for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. If the chicken registers below 165ºF internally, place it into a low (200ºF) oven until it is completely cooked.

4. Step 7 complete

   Serve with a sprinkling of parsley.
