Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu
Description
This recipe involves slicing chicken breasts to create a thin, flat piece, then seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika before layering ham and Swiss cheese centrally. The chicken is rolled tightly and secured with toothpicks to hold the stuffing inside during cooking.
The dredging station uses flour mixed with garlic and onion powder, whisked eggs, and panko bread crumbs with minced onions for the breading step. The rolled chicken is coated sequentially in flour, egg wash, and panko crumbs to create a crispy crust when air fried.
The air fryer provides high heat circulation, cooking the chicken evenly while crisping the breading and melting the cheese inside. This method reduces oil use compared to traditional frying and results in a crisp outside with a juicy, cheesy interior.
