Cordon Bleu Chicken Rolls

🧾 Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts (butterflied & flattened)
• 4 slices turkey ham (or regular ham)
• 4 slices cheese (Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar)
• 1 cup flour
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Salt & black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Toothpicks (to secure rolls)
• Oil or butter (for frying or baking)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Place a slice of ham and cheese on each piece.
3. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.

2. Bread the Rolls:

1. Coat each roll in flour.
2. Dip in beaten eggs.
3. Roll in breadcrumbs, pressing to stick well.

3. Cook:

Option 1 – Fry (extra crispy):

• Fry in hot oil for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Option 2 – Bake (lighter):

• Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden.

🔥 Tips:

• Chill rolls for 15–20 minutes before cooking → helps them stay tight.
• Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
• Let rest a few minutes before slicing to keep cheese from leaking.

💡 Sauce Idea (Optional):

Mix cream + mustard + a little garlic for a quick creamy sauce 😋
