Yep, it’s exactly what it is.

So this is my take on the Chicken Cordon Bleu for someone who doesn’t feel like pounding chicken breasts or own a meat mallet.

Baked Cordon Bleu
Makes 4

stuff you will need

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 4 slices of beef salami (or pastrami)
• 4 oz Havarti, Gruyere or Swiss cheese
• 1/2 – 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs plus 1/4 cup for coating (pre-seasoned or add your own spices)
• 1 egg
• salt & pepper

1. Combine chicken, egg, bread crumbs, and seasonings in a bowl
2. Wrap salami around the 1 oz slab of cheese.
3. Now wrap the salami & cheese with the ground chicken and form into a cutlet shape.
4. Coat the cutlets in some bread crumbs.
5. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until juices run clear.
6. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before digging in.
