How to Make Stuffed Chicken Cordon Bleu Bake

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for that golden-brown finish.
  • Prepare Chicken: Take each boneless, skinless chicken breast and slice a pocket into it, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine Swiss cheese, ham, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
  • Stuff Chicken: Generously fill each chicken pocket with the ham and cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to secure them if necessary.
  • Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Spread this mixture over the stuffed chicken, then roll each breast in breadcrumbs.
  • Bake Chicken: Place the stuffed and coated chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Drizzle olive oil on top and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve: After baking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
