An elegant and satisfying classic, Chicken Cordon Bleu is the perfect fusion of tender chicken, melty Swiss cheese, and savory ham—wrapped and seared to golden perfection, then simmered in a rich cream sauce. Ideal for cozy dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
6 tbsp butter
½ cup dry white wine
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Prep Chicken: Flatten each chicken breast between plastic wrap until about 1/4 inch thick. Place 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese on each; roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Coat: Mix flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Roll each chicken roll-up in the flour mixture to coat.
Sear: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls on all sides.
Simmer: Add wine and bouillon to the pan. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the cream until smooth. Stir into the pan along with remaining cream. Cook and stir until thickened—about 5 minutes.
