Chicken Cordon Bleu with White Wine Sauce

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

This is an easy version of a French classic. It tastes wonderful with roasted vegetables.

"So I don't like ham... I decided to take a spin on this traditional dish by mixing gorgonzola crumbles and prosciutto bits together and using that as the inside mixture instead. It was excellent! I also have tried this with brie and caramelized onions which was also very yummy. The white wine cream sauce was excellent. I put mine over a bed of baby spinach instead of serving with roasted veggies." - DeeDub85

Original recipe makes 4
4 Chicken breast
1/2 teaspoonSalt
1/4 teaspoonPepper
1/4 teaspoonGarlic powder
1 teaspoonPaprika
4 slicesHam
4 slicesProvolone cheese
1 Egg
1 teaspoonWater
1 cupItalian bread crumbs
3 tablespoonUnsalted butter
3 tablespoonExtra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Dry white wine
1 tablespoonCornstarch
1 cupHeavy cream
1 teaspoonChicken broth granules

Chicken Cordon Bleu with White Wine Sauce Preparation

Pound out chicken breasts to approximately 1/2 " thickness, so that they may be rolled. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Place 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of provolone cheese on top of each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breasts so that the ham and provolone cheese is enclosed in the roll.

In a medium sized bowl or pie plate, make an egg wash by whisking an egg and the teaspoon of water. In a separate bowl or pie plate, lay out your bread crumbs.

Take each rolled chicken breast & roll first in the egg wash and then in the bread crumbs to completely cover. Set aside. Enclose with toothpicks at this point, if you wish, but be sure to remove toothpicks before serving.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

While oven is preheating, preheat a medium sized saute pan on the stove and heat up the butter and oil. Saute the chicken breasts for approximately 10 minutes, turning so that all sides begin to turn a golden brown. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and finish off in the oven for approximatly 15-20 minutes or until golden and juices are running clear.

While chicken is finishing off in the oven, make a white wine sauce, by adding the dry white wine, cornstarch, cream & chicken broth granules to the pan that the chicken was started in. Whisk constantly for a few minutes to allow flavors to develop and for the sauce to thicken. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with roasted vegetables.

    Had difficult rolling the ham and cheese up. Guess I should have pounded as thin as I could. Seems easier to buy already made ones. Also went and overcooked sauce so turned from nice and creamy to butter oily - just because I was not watching it.

    Wow...let me tell you, this is the best Cordon Bleu recipe that I have ever tasted! The chicken is amazing and the sauce is to die for. I have made it about five times so far and I have since increased the amounts for the sauce because it's so good. I have also made it with broccoli and cheese instead of the ham. But... The sauce is what makes this dish! Thanks for a wonderful idea!

    Used Monterey Jack, because that's what we had in the house. I didn't make the wine sauce because of time, but will try it in the future.

    Had to use thighs instead of breasts, rolling the chicken wasnt the easiest but turned out great

    amazing dish. Tasted divine.
    2 years, 7 months, 2 weeks, 20 hours, 36 minutes ago
    Very good! My husband is a picky eater and he loved it! Just wish the cheese would have not melted out.
    2 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, 1 days, 8 hours, 56 minutes ago
    This is an excellent recipe. I should have smashed more and cut smaller prior to rolling and frying but aside from that they looked and tasted great!

    After reading the comments I also chose to use chicken broth forthe sauce instead of cooking wine. It turned out great. My mistake was not pounding the chicken enough bit was too thick to roll properly and the ham/cheese was lost. I'd def like to try this again and change that one thing: thinner chicken!
