Chicken Cordon Bleu Made Easy!
This Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu is a simplified take on the classically baked chicken cordon bleu. It still includes all the same flavors without too much work. Plus it only uses one pan for the chicken and the sauce! This is a hearty chicken dish that has crave worthy flavors. And you’ll love those crisp garlicky croutons that finish it all of! I used the croutons to mimic chicken that’s coated in breadcrumbs and it works incredibly well here. I wouldn’t use plain bread crumbs because a. less flavor and b. they aren’t toasted in butter or olive oil which is a must here.
It’s a Dish You’ll Have on Repeat!
I’ve already made this twice and can’t wait to make it again! It’s definitely worthy of being a repeat recipe. There’s just so much deliciousness going on here. The first time it took me longer to prepare than the second, maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was trying to figure it all out as I went but the second time should be a breeze for you. It’s kind of like that with most recipes though. You can also get the kids in the kitchen to help and have them crush up the croutons and collect some of the ingredients like the cheese slices and ham.
How do You Make Chicken Cordon Bleu in a Skillet?
Mix chicken broth and cornstarch, stir in cream and dijon mustard. Pour flour into a shallow dish, season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken in flour, place in skillet. Cook through, about 4 – 5 minutes per side, while layering ham and then cheese over chicken during last minute of cooking. Transfer to plate. Pour chicken broth mixture into skillet (season). Let simmer 1 minute. Return chicken to skillet, sprinkle crouton crumbs and parsley over chicken.
