Chicken cordon bleu is a main course that is very delicious and children love it. These homemade cordon bleu are perfect also because they are baked, making them lighter and easier to digest. The cordon bleu with chicken breast is a kind of pocket filled with ham and cheese, and you can use mozzarella, asiago, provolone, or the melting cheese you prefer. For a perfect cooking of the chicken breast, I recommend using thin slices, and the amount of ham and cheese is indicative because you can vary it according to your taste or the size of the chicken slices.

How to prepare chicken cordon bleu
Let’s start preparing the Chicken cordon bleu, cut the cheese into thin slices or small pieces. Pour the eggs into a plate, beat them with a fork for a few minutes, and pour some breadcrumbs into another plate. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the static oven to 356°F
Take the chicken breast slice, put some cooked ham and cheese on one side, fold the slice and press the edges, dip the stuffed chicken breast in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs, making it adhere well, then again in the egg and finally again in the breadcrumbs, thanks to this double breading your homemade cordon bleu will be delicious.
Proceed in this way with the other slices and then place the cordon bleu on the baking sheet. When you have completed them all, add some salt and a drizzle of oil on each one.
When the oven is hot, bake and cook for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, so they have time to brown on both sides.
When the Chicken cordon bleu are ready, take them out of the oven and serve them hot accompanied by potatoes or salad.
