Beef Chicken Cordon Bleu

A delicious twist on the classic chicken cordon bleu, this recipe uses tender beef slices wrapped around chicken breast, ham, and Swiss cheese, then breaded and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

4 thin beef slices (about 6 ounces each), pounded thin
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces), sliced in half horizontally
8 slices deli ham
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the beef slices flat on a clean surface. Place one chicken breast half on each beef slice.
Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese.
Carefully roll up each beef and chicken stack tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each beef chicken roll first in the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the rolls and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
