Ingredients
- 2 fresh chicken fillets
- 2 slices ham
- 1 egg
- 2 slices cheese
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- a handful breadcrumbs or panko
- olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Place the chicken fillets on a clean surface and cover with cling film. Flatten the chicken gently using a meat mallet until ⅕-inch (5 mm) thick.
-
Season the fillets with a little pepper and salt. Top with a slice of ham and cheese. Season again.
-
Fold the chicken fillets shut and fasten the edges using toothpicks.
-
Divide the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs over separate deep plates. Season the breadcrumbs with pepper and salt. Then dip the chicken parcels first in the flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess crumbs.
-
Pour a little olive oil in a large non-stick pan and place it over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken cordon bleu.
-
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until the cordon bleu is nicely golden brown and crunchy. Remove them from the hot pan, drain them on a piece of kitchen paper for a couple of seconds and then place the cordon bleu onto warm plates. Sprinkle lightly with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately while the cheese is still hot.
