Chicken Cordon Bleu
This got a big thumbs up from my husband. I cooked several chicken breasts at a time in the air fryer for about 30 minutes. You could also do this in an electric skillet. Prep time was around 20 minutes.
Added information…I checked my blood sugar and got no spike just a half hour later.
The final product turned out super yummy in the air fryer.
Ingredients
Chicken:
- Three large chicken breasts cut in half and pounded flat
- 6 pieces of ham 2 pieces per chicken breast
- 3 squares of Swiss cheese 1 per chicken breast
- Your choice of breadcrumbs e.g., crushed croutons for low-carb, crushed pork rinds for no-carb
- 1 stick of butter melted
Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 stick butter
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer or oven to the recommended temperature for chicken.
- Cover each piece of pounded chicken breast with 2 pieces of ham and 1 square of Swiss cheese. Roll up the chicken with the cheese inside, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- Dip the prepared chicken in melted butter, then coat with your choice of breadcrumbs.
- Cook in the air fryer or oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- For the sauce, mix the heavy cream and cornstarch together and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt a stick of butter, then add the chicken broth and bouillon cube. Stir in the heavy cream and cornstarch mixture. Reduce the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Serve the chicken cordon bleu topped with the sauce.
Notes
The sauce is optional but highly recommended.
You can adjust the amount of cheese and ham based on the size of the chicken breasts.
Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that its internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
