Steps

25 min

1

Place the chicken cutlets, cut into pieces, in the kitchen robot and mix for 40 seconds at speed 4.
2

Add the shredded Swiss cheese, flour, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste), and pepper to the robot. Mix for 30 seconds at speed 5.
3

Divide the mixture into 24 portions.
4

Take some plastic wrap (or wet your hands to prevent sticking) and flatten 2 portions with your palm to form 2 half circles or rounds, depending on your preferred shape.
5

Bring the 2 flattened portions together, place ham and cheese in the center, fold with the plastic wrap, and shape your cordon bleu by gently pressing the edges to seal.
6

Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and brush well with oil.
7

For the breading, place the breadcrumbs in one bowl and beat the remaining 2 eggs in another. Dip the cordon bleus first in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs, and place them on the oiled baking sheet.
8

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
9

I froze half of the cordon bleus and ate them later by thawing overnight in the fridge, then reheating in a skillet with a mix of oil and butter. Enjoy!
