How to Make Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal slit almost all the way through each breast, creating a pocket.
  3. Place 2 slices of ham and 1 ounce of Swiss cheese into each chicken breast pocket.
  4. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper (reduce salt if using prosciutto).
  5. Place stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
