kcalInspired by a traditional Swiss fondue, this chicken cordon bleu is singing from the Alps about its savory three-cheese blend with a dash of nutmeg, enveloping salty ham, which is, in turn, hugging a dash of tangy Dijon mustard.
Ingredients
1/2 cup shredded organic Gruyère cheese
1/2 cup shredded organic Emmentaler (Swiss) cheese
1/4 cup shredded organic Appenzeller cheese
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 large boneless, skinless, free-range chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin
4 slices nitrate-free ham
2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated organic Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the Gruyère, Emmentaler, and Appenzeller cheeses with the nutmeg.
- Lay the butterflied chicken breasts flat on a work surface and divide the cheese mixture between the two breasts.
- Then place 2 slices of ham on top of the cheese on each breast, followed by 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard in the middle (if using). Fold the chicken breast over to enclose the filling.
- Brush the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle it with the Parmesan cheese and seasoned salt.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts on the baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F, about 50 minutes. Serve hot.
