How to Make Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Season both sides of each chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
- Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of prosciutto or deli ham and 1 ounce of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- Tightly roll up each chicken breast and tuck in the ends. Secure with toothpicks.
- Lightly coat an 11x7 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the rolled chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs.
- Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.
