Cordon Bleu Chicken Rolls

🧾 Ingredients: 2 large chicken breasts (butterflied & flattened) 4 slices turkey ham (or regular ham) 4 slices cheese (Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar) 1 cup flour 2 eggs (beaten) 1 cup breadcrumbs Salt & black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp paprika Toothpicks (to secure rolls) Oil or butter (for frying or baking) 👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Place a slice of ham and cheese on each piece. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
2. Bread the Rolls: Coat each roll in flour. Dip in beaten eggs. Roll in breadcrumbs, pressing to stick well.
3. Cook: Option 1 – Fry (extra crispy):

Fry in hot oil for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Option 2 – Bake (lighter):

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden. 🔥 Tips: Chill rolls for 15–20 minutes before cooking → helps them stay tight. Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Let rest a few minutes before slicing to keep cheese from leaking. 💡 Sauce Idea (Optional): Mix cream + mustard + a little garlic for a quick creamy sauce 😋
