Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 6 lices Swiss cheese
- 6 lices ham
- canola oil for frying
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch thick.
- Remove the plastic wrap. Put a slice of Swiss cheese, then a slice of ham, then another slice of swiss and another slice of ham over the chicken. Tightly roll the chicken and put it onto a new sheet of plastic wrap.
- Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and twist the sides to tightly squeeze the chicken and form it. Repeat with each chicken and place into the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat 2” of oil in a tall sided pan to 350℉.
- Add crispy fried onions to a food processor and pulse for 20 seconds. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together fried onions, bread crumbs, parsley, and montreal seasoning. In a separate bowl add flour. In a third bowl, add the egg and whisk. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.
- Carefully place the breaded chicken cordon bleu in the oil and cook for about 7 minutes per side to reach a golden brown color. Check to be sure the internal temp is 165℉. Serve immediately and enjoy!
