Christmas Eve wouldn't be complete without my dad's chicken cordon bleu! My husband tries all year to talk Dad into also making this scrumptious main dish for other occasions. It's a definite family favorite. Ingredients:
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
3 thin slices fully cooked ham, halved |
3 slices swiss cheese, halved |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons milk |
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes |
hot cooked rice |
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted |
1/2 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken breast to 1/4-in. thickness; layer each with one piece of ham and one piece of cheese. Roll up each jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; secure with toothpicks.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and paprika. In another bowl, beat egg and milk. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in butter. Add broth and parsley. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 40-50 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
4. Remove toothpicks. Place rice on a serving platter; top with chicken and keep warm. Combine soup and sour cream; heat through but do not boil. Serve with chicken and rice. Yield: 6 servings.
