Easy {Baked} Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 6 chicken breast (4 ounces each), boneless skinless
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 slices deli ham
- 3 slices Swiss cheese , halved
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs plain, seasoned, or gluten-free
- Cooking spray
For the Sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk 2%
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/3 cup Swiss cheese shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper; arrange in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
- Top each with 1 slice ham and 1/2 slice cheese, folding ham in half and covering chicken as much as possible. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Carefully spritz bread crumbs with cooking spray, keeping crumbs in place. Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°.
- For sauce, in a small saucepan, whisk flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
