Instructions
In a chopping board or a flat working space, cut open the chicken breast like a butterfly to make the meat thinner.
With the back of a knife, lightly pound the chicken to flatten (you can also use a meat tenderizer tool).
Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the sweet ham above the flattened chicken meat.
Then place the cheese slice above the ham.
Roll together and secure ends with toothpicks or wrap around with cling wrap.
Do this for the rest of the ingredients.
In case you are using cling wrap, place in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
After chilling, prepare the breading ingredients and remove the cling wrap.
Coat the chicken roll with flour.
Then coat with the beaten egg.
Then coat with the bread crumbs.
Repeat this for the rest of the rolls.
Pour some cooking oil, enough to cover half of the rolls and apply low to medium heat (you can also deep fry).
Once hot enough, fry one side of the rolls for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown.
Then flip and fry the opposite side until golden brown.
Remove from heat and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Allow to cool down before slicing.
Meanwhile you can prepare the sauce.
In a saucepan, add-in the butter and apply heat to melt.
Once melted, lower the heat and add in the flour while continually stirring.
Slowly add-in the milk while continually stirring until the mixture has completely dissolved.
Add-in salt and pepper to taste.
Add-in the cheese then stir until it dissolves and the sauce thickens.
Once the chicken cordon bleu is cool enough, slice them crosswise and pour sauce on top. Serve and enjoy!
