A delightful twist on the classic chicken cordon bleu, these bites are perfect for appetizers or a fun dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cooked ham, and egg until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Gradually add the panko bread crumbs to the mixture until it loses stickiness and can be easily shaped.
Add the bread crumbs slowly to avoid over-drying the mixture.
Shape the chicken mixture around small cubes of swiss cheese, forming 2-inch balls.
Ensure the cheese is completely covered to prevent it from leaking out.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F.
Use a thermometer to maintain the correct frying temperature.
Fry the balls in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Transfer the fried bites to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Baking ensures the bites are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Let the bites cool slightly before serving.
Cooling allows the cheese to set slightly, making them easier to handle.
