Chicken Gordon Bleu
Delight in our Chicken Cordon Bleu - tender chicken breasts filled with ham and melted cheese, creating a flavorful and satisfying classic dish.
Ingredients
- 4 (about 450g) chicken breast fillets
- 4 (60g) mozzarella cheese slices
- 4 (about 100g) ham slices
- 60ml (1/4 cup) cake flour
- 3ml (1/2 tsp) Spur Texas Seasoning
- 3ml (1/2 tsp) Spur Seasoning Salt
- 1 extra large egg
- 125ml (1/2 cup) Spur Salad Dressing
- 125ml (1/2 cup) coarse breadcrumbs
- 200ml (1 sachet) Spur Cheddamelt Sauce or Spur Cheese sauce.
Method
- Cut a pocket into each chicken fillet.
- Wrap the cheese with ham, as this helps to stop the cheese from melting out, and place inside the pockets.
- Close and secure the pocket with two toothpicks.
- Roll in flour mixed with Spur Texas Seasoning and Spur Seasoning Salt.
- Whisk the egg and Spur Salad Dressing together. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then into the breadcrumbs.
- Transfer to an oven tray and drizzle or spray with oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove toothpicks and cut into slices.
- Serve with warm Spur Cheddamelt Sauce.
Variations
- You can use any cheese and seal with extra toothpicks.
- If you do not like cheese melting out, use a hard cheese like Emmental.
- Pan-frying the chicken is an alternative to oven-baking it.
- Instead of making a pocket for filling with ham and cheese, flatten the chicken, layer ham and cheese and roll into a log.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or chopped red peppers, if preferred.
