Chicken Cordon Bleu

Felt like making it and cooking dinner for the family as a favour. I actually based my ingredients and steps around this recipe and a video clip but I ended up tweaking it more on my own. And I made too much for my family haha. 3 chicken breasts is enough as it was very filling.

Anyway didn't manage to take a decent photo just coz I was a little shy doing it in front of the in laws but here is the ingredients and method. I would have tried the white wine next time as it would bring sauce to the dish and mom in law's clever idea of combining cauliflower to the dish adds balance of vegetables for dinner.

Ingredients

• 3-4 chicken breasts
• Mozarella or Swiss cheese or both
• Sliced ham (3 for each breast)
• Herb and garlic salt
• Garlic powder
• Pepper
• Salt
• Olive oil
• 3-4 eggs
• 1.5 cup flour and cornstarch or both
• 1.5 cup panko bread crumbs
• 60ml white wine

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 180degC. Line a large tray with aluminium foil or baking paper
2. Wash the breasts and dry them. Season with garlic powder, herb and garlic salt and pepper. Go as far as coating a layer around the meat
3. Wrap the meat in glad wrap and pound it flat
4. Add a layer of Mozarella, 3 slices of ham and mozzarella.
5. Wrap the meat up in glad wrap into cylinder form
6. Freeze meat for 15-30mins or until their shape is firm
7. Coat meat in flour, followed by egg then breadcrumb
