There were a few requests for this recipe from my post a couple of days ago. Hope ya'll enjoy it.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients
• 2 Extra Large chicken breasts skinless and boneless
• 4 ½”x ½” slices cooked ham (slice 7 Oz. ham steak into ½” wide strips)
• 1/2 pound Gruyere Cheese, grated (grate what you need to generously cover ham and breast)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
• 3 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 8”x 8” Aluminum Pan
Directions
Preheat the BGR to 350 degrees F, Indirect.
Lay the chicken breast in a gallon size zip lock bag. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the chicken breasts from the bag and lay 2 slices of ham neatly in the middle of the breast and sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the ham and breast. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll. Squeeze the log gently and secure with wooden toothpicks to form a nice log. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Season the flour with salt and pepper.
Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic, dried oregano, dried rosemary and kosher salt, pepper, and melted butter. The butter will help the crust brown.
Beat together the eggs.
Season the flour, the eggs and the crumbs so are all seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and gently coat in the bread crumbs.
Lightly coat aluminum baking pan with olive oil and carefully transfer the coated chicken breasts into it.
Cook indirect for 40 to 50 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Note: If the chicken breasts are small to medium use 4. The chicken breasts that I used were huge (I think that chicken was big enough to whip a turkeys butt).
