Welcome to Good 2 Eat, where every Thursday 2une In will be cooking with Chef Kevin Belton to show you a new and delicious recipe to try at home!
Chicken Cordon Bleu
8 ham slices
8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced
4 chicken breasts, boneless sliced in half
Creole seasoning
3 cups honey almond oats cereal , crushed
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
1-2 tsp. Creole mustard , to taste
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two chicken breast halves.
Place the chicken breast halves between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them into thin and evenly.
Season chicken with Creole seasoning then top each pieces of chicken with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. Roll tightly, tucking the sides a little, and place on a new piece of plastic wrap.
Wrap the chicken tightly in the plastic wrap, pinching the excess plastic on the sides to create a tootsie-roll shape and twisting them to create a firm chicken roll. Refrigerate the wrapped chicken bundles for at least 30-minutes or up to one day in advance.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove chicken from fridge, unwrap. Add cereal to a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Add crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate. Melt butter in a separate shallow dish.
Dip the chicken bundles in melted butter, and then into the cereal crumbs, pressing lightly to help the crumbs stick to the chicken. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake on the center oven rack for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees on a thermometer inserted into the chicken.
Make the sauce by stirring the mayo and mustard together. Taste and add more mustard, as needed, to taste.
