Something a little nostalgic. The cordon Bleu sadly became the mediocre cantina classic.
This is tragic because the dish features goodness wrapped tastiness, if you use the right ingredients this can become a fun alternative to basic chicken breasts.
Ingredients:
- 1 Full Chicken Breast
- 2 slices of ham
- Emmental Cheese
- 1 Egg
- Chapelure / Panko
- Bechamel/white sauce (20gr butter, 20gr flour, 150cl chicken stock, 50cl milk)
Step 1: Make the bechamel
Make the Bechamel: slowly melt the butter, add a little bit of flour and stir, add some chicken stock, stir and repeat until you have a creamy white sauce.
Step 2: Prepare the chicken
Slice the chicken breast, so you have a thin steak looking breast. Dip it in the Bechamel put it on a plastic film, add a slice of ham and cover with sliced cheese. Fold the breast, wrap in plastic film and keep in the fridge for at least 20mn.
Step 3: Cooking
Preheat the oven at 360.
Beat the egg in a bowl. Put the Panko in a plate. Get the chicken breast and dip it in the egg then roll in Panko.
In a pan melt some butter over medium heat. Grill the chicken breast so both sides are golden.
Finish cooking in the oven for 30mn.
