Method

  1. Season the chicken fillet with salt and black pepper.

  2. Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken fillet, then roll each piece tightly into a roll.

  3. Prepare a breading station: first coat the chicken rolls in flour, then dip them in beaten egg, and finally roll them in breadcrumbs.

  4. Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the breaded chicken rolls until golden brown on all sides.

  5. Transfer the fried rolls to an air‑grill or oven and cook for an additional 5–7 minutes at 350°F, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

  6. Serve the chicken cordon bleu hot, optionally with mashed potatoes or a side of your choice.
