- Difficulty: Easy

- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 2 Pieces
- Cooking methods: Air Frying
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 2 chicken patties
- 3.5 oz sugar-free cornflakes
- 1.41 oz cooked ham
- 2.12 oz mild provolone cheese
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
First, prepare the coating: take the cornflakes without sugars (or breadcrumbs as an alternative) and crush them coarsely with your hands or with the help of a mixer, and pour them onto a flat plate.
Take a ready-to-cook chicken patty and place it directly on the bed of cornflakes, pressing with your fingers to flatten it slightly. On half of it, place the cooked ham and some thin slices of provolone cheese, being careful not to go over the edges. Then fold the patty into a half-moon shape and seal the edges well. This way, the filling will stay neatly enclosed during cooking.
*If desired, a richer version can be made by stacking two patties, placing the filling exactly in the center: in that case, a slight pressure on the edges is sufficient to join them.
Add a light spray of oil on top to promote even browning and cook the cordon bleu in the air fryer at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. Alternatively, they can be cooked in a ventilated oven at 390°F for 20-25 minutes or fried in plenty of vegetable oil until fully golden.
Wait a few minutes and serve still hot, if you like, with some basil leaves. Enjoy your meal!
