Ingredients

4
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices pancetta
  • 150 gram Boursin cheese
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • plain flour
  • panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • 2 eggs (medium)
  • oil, pepper and salt

Equipment

  • Clingfilm
  • Meat mallet
  • Frying pan
  • Instant-read thermometer

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Place the chicken breast on a board with a sheet of clingfilm on top. Cut the chicken fillet lengthwise, just above the top, fold it open and flatten it with a meat mallet or heavy pan, for example.
  • Cover the chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, a layer of Boursin and some grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Wrap in cling film, roll up and leave to set in the fridge for an hour or overnight. Repeat with the other fillets.
  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
  • Prepare 3 deep trays: 1 with flour mixed with plenty of salt and pepper, 1 with the (beaten) eggs and 1 with panko.
  • Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the panko.
  • Heat plenty of oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken cordon bleu on all sides until golden brown. It does not need to be cooked. Remove from the pan and place on a baking tray.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Serve with potatoes and green beans, enjoy!
