Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu


My hubby loves Chicken Cordon Bleu. And it's the fried version.

When I saw a baked version on Angie's Recipes, I knew I just have to make this very soon.
I had a hard time trying to secure the ends, with a few time almost poking through my fingers.

I served this with a serving of salad with tomato cream and baked garlic fries. My husband said this tasted better than the local cafe that he frequents for this dish, saying this tasted like chicken. Not that the cafe didn't use chicken, hahaha, but the chicken was coated in so much batter and crumbs that the chicken doesn't seem to be the main star.


Here's what I used

2 Boneless Chicken whole legs
Salt, pepper and oregano
2 sliced of ham
2 slices of cheddar cheese (each broken up into 4 long strips and stacked)

1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 Tbsp finely grated parmesan
1 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp chicken broth (I used instant noodles chicken flavour seasoning, just 1/2 tsp mixed with water)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1. Preheat oven to 180/200C.
2.Lightly flatten the boneless whole legs with the back of a cleaver or a meat mallet.
3. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and ground oregano onto chicken.
4. Put a piece of ham, then a piece of stacked cheese onto each chicken leg.
5. Roll up and secure ends with toothpicks.
6. Mix broth with garlic.
7. Mix bread crumbs and parmesan
8. Roll chicken into chicken broth and then the breadcrumb mixture.
9. Drizzle melted butter over chicken.
10. Bake chicken for 20-30 minutes or until chicken looks golden and crispy.
11. Remove toothpicks before serving.

  11. Meldylocks,
    Mine is like at the size of a sausage bun looo.
    Long.. I really need to improve on the wrapping part. Very very worried about the cheese oozing out.



    Jess Kitchen,
    Haha, oh yes, a lot friendlier to the waistline.



    DG,
    Same goes for me.
    Anything with cheese, the best part besides eating it, is watching it ooze



    Clare,
    U're welcomed :)

    did u use panko or the normal bread crumbs?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Swee San,
    Err... what's panko?
    I bought mine from the bakery supplies shop, and it's like very small bits of broken up bread, not like biscuit crumbs.

  14. I like chicken cordon bleu, but haven't tried making it myself. I like those with a lot of cheese inside :)

  15. i'm just imagining tough rolling up the chicken with the ham and cheese slices but you rolled it up very nice and balanced.

  16. I saw this in a Chinese program (can't rem which one though) and it's also a baked version. I didn't have time to copy the recipe then, so glad to find it here. I've got all the ingredients at home, just need some motivation to start cooking.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Angie,
    Haha, no way!!!! Yours is definately much much better.


    Pigpigscorner,
    Hope u and wildboar will like this :)



    Karen,
    Yup,
    I do prefer baking more than frying for this.



    Home Kreation,
    It's not too hard to make, but every easy to finish up. Sometimes I do feel, haiya, just go out and eat this, Hahaha!!

  24. Wendy, of course la! Those sold outside sure will have less meat! Siapa mau rugi? Nothing beats home-made! Good stuff, always.

    Agreed! Chicken cordon bleu sounds like a good one. I hope I'll get down to make the dish someday once I'm settled down. Your green curry first though. You know how many recipes I've bookmarked!!!??? Argh!

    ReplyDelete
  25. PeiLin ah..
    Those outside look double of mine.
    They contain the same amout of chicken, but heavily coated with battter and crumbs. You will need to eat 2 of mine to have the same "fillingness" compared to one from the outside.
