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. 1 Pound chicken breasts to ½ -inch thickness then cut into 3-inch x 4-inch pieces.
    2. 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. 3 Coat the chicken evenly with the flour, egg wash then breadcrumbs.
    4. 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. 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.
