How to Make Awesome Chicken Cordon Bleu

  1. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Sprinkle each chicken breast evenly with thyme.
  3. Top each chicken breast with one slice of ham and one slice of cheese.
  4. Tightly roll up each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick.
  5. Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon and secure with toothpicks.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
  7. In a separate shallow dish, place flour.
  8. In another separate shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and garlic powder.
  9. 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.
  10. Place chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet.
  11. 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.)
  12. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
