Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu
This classic chicken cordon bleu gets perfectly golden and crispy in the air fryer. It's a restaurant-worthy dinner that's surprisingly simple to pull off.
Equipment
- toothpicks
- meat mallet
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 8 slices Deli Ham
- 4 slices Swiss Cheese
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Layer 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll each breast up tightly, tucking in the sides, and secure with toothpicks.
- Set up a breading station: flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs mixed with dijon mustard in a second dish, and panko breadcrumbs combined with grated parmesan and garlic powder in a third dish.
- Roll each chicken bundle in flour, then dip in egg mixture, then press firmly into the panko mixture to coat completely on all sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370F. Spray the basket with cooking spray and place the chicken rolls seam-side down, leaving space between each. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 18-20 minutes, turning carefully once halfway through, until the outside is deep golden and the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Let rest for 3-4 minutes, remove the toothpicks, then slice each roll in half on a diagonal and serve.
