A gourmet classic, Chicken or Turkey Cordon Bleu features tender poultry cutlets pounded thin, wrapped around ham and Swiss cheese, then breaded and pan-fried or baked until golden and melted. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 4 Prep Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or turkey cutlets (about 6-8 oz each), pounded very thin - 4 slices cooked ham - 4 slices Swiss cheese - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water - 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred) - Salt and black pepper to taste - Vegetable oil, for frying or baking Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. Lightly grease a baking sheet. 2. Lay each pounded poultry cutlet flat. Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on one half of each cutlet. Fold the other half of the poultry over the ham and cheese, pressing edges to seal, or roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed. 3. Set up a breading station: one dish with seasoned flour, one with egg wash, one with seasoned breadcrumbs. 4. Dredge each poultry roll in flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. 5. For frying: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry poultry rolls for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels. 6. For baking: Place breaded poultry rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). 7. Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve hot.
