How to make Bacon Chicken Cordon Bleu

Tips from the cook

  • Pound the chicken to 5 to 7 mm, so it rolls tightly and cooks evenly.
  • Skip the salt, as the bacon and cheese already season the chicken.
  • Chill the wrapped rolls for 10 to 15 minutes, so they hold their shape when breaded.
  • Press the breadcrumbs on firmly and turn the rolls carefully in the pan. Baking at 180 °C uses less oil.
  • Rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing, so the melted cheese stays inside.
