Ingredients
5
boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
5
slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup (125 mL)
all-purpose flour
5
slices deli ham, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (125 mL)
panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup (125 mL)
breadcrumbs
3 tbsp (45 mL)
butter
3 tbsp (45 mL)
olive oil
10
Kalamata olives, halved
Instructions
1
Pound chicken breasts to ½ -inch thickness then cut into 3-inch x 4-inch pieces.
2
Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast leaving a bit of room around the edges. Roll the edges over the filling and secure with toothpicks.
3
Coat the chicken evenly with the flour, egg wash then breadcrumbs.
4
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat (preferably cast iron), and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Transfer to 175°C preheated oven for 30 minutes or until internal temperature of 77°C (170º F) is reached when inserted with a meat thermometer.
5
Remove the toothpick and transfer to a serving platter. Place halved kalamata olives at the end of the cooked chicken cordon bleu for the appearance of fingernails.
