Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich Recipe

French-American · Main course · 30 min total

A crispy, cheesy twist on the classic French dish, this sandwich layers breaded chicken cutlets with ham and Swiss cheese, then grills to golden perfection.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 8 slices Swiss cheese
• 8 thin slices deli ham
• 4 ciabatta rolls or brioche buns, split
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Set up a breading station: Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another dish. In a third dish, combine panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp oil. Cook chicken 3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer skillet to oven and bake 10 minutes until cooked through (165°F internal).
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Dijon and mayonnaise. Spread cut sides of rolls with the mixture.
6. Place cooked chicken on bottom buns. Top each with 2 slices ham, then 2 slices Swiss cheese. Place top buns on sandwiches.
7. Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich (top and bottom).
8. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese melts. Serve hot.

Tips

• Pound chicken breasts evenly for uniform cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
• Sandwiches can be assembled ahead and grilled just before serving.
