A simplified and flavorful take on the classic Chicken Cordon Bleu, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Place the chicken between plastic wrap to prevent mess.
Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even coating.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Combine the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
Use your hands to mix for better integration.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for a thicker crust.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast and return to the oven until the cheese melts.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-melting.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
