Description
A playful twist on a classic favorite, these Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites combine tender chicken, gooey cheese, and savory ham into crispy bites that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 slices of ham (or turkey)
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup of flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Bites: Place a small piece of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of chicken. Roll them tightly and secure with a toothpick.
- Dredging Station: Set up three bowls – one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Rolls: Dip each chicken roll first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coat.
- Bake: Place the coated bites on a greased baking sheet and spray the tops lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool slightly before removing toothpicks and serving to guests.
Notes
These bites can be paired with a zesty honey mustard dip or ranch dressing for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
