Steps

40 minutes

1

Start by slicing the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Pound them gently to tenderize and flatten. Season the inside with salt and pepper.
2

Cut the ham to fit the chicken, then place a slice inside each chicken fillet. Slice the mozzarella and add it on top of the ham. Fold the chicken fillets closed and set aside.
3

Beat 2 fresh eggs in a shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in another bowl. Dip each side of the stuffed chicken fillets first in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Arrange them in a baking dish.

I chose to bake them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with convection if available. Meanwhile, place a small pat of butter on each cordon bleu. Bake for 40 minutes, checking occasionally. Enjoy!
