How to Make Awesome Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Sprinkle each chicken breast evenly with thyme.
- Top each chicken breast with one slice of ham and one slice of cheese.
- Tightly roll up each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick.
- Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon and secure with toothpicks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- In a separate shallow dish, place flour.
- In another separate shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and garlic powder.
- Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then dredge in flour, dip in egg mixture again, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. (Note: Baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.)
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
