Ingredients

300 g skinless chicken breast
100 g ham slices
100 g Emmentaler in one piece
60 g all-purpose wheat flour
3 free-range eggs M
80 g classic breadcrumbs
300 ml sunflower oil
1 pinch fine salt
1 pinch ground pepper

Preparation

1
Wash the chicken breasts, pat them dry, and carefully pound them with a meat tenderizer to a thickness of approx. 0.5 cm. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
First, top the meat pieces with the ham slices and then with the Emmentaler cheese. Carefully roll or fold the meat into small roulades.
3
Prepare three deep plates for breading: Fill the first with all-purpose flour, whisk the eggs with a fork in the second, and put the breadcrumbs in the third.
4
First, dredge the prepared Cordon Bleus in flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally roll them in the breadcrumbs. For an extra crispy breading, repeat the process with egg and breadcrumbs a second time.
5
Heat 300 ml of sunflower oil in a large pan over high heat (takes approx. 6 minutes). Reduce the heat to medium, carefully place the Cordon Bleus in the pan, and fry them until golden brown for approx. 8–9 minutes.
6
Briefly drain the finished Cordon Bleus on paper towels to remove excess fat, and serve immediately.

Tip

Serve the Cordon Bleu classically with a lemon wedge and parsley potatoes.

Tipp: Klopfen Sie das Fleisch besonders vorsichtig, damit es nicht reißt. Eine doppelte Panier sorgt dafür, dass der Käse beim Ausbacken nicht ausläuft!
