Chicken
Cordon Bleu Recipe
With
Mediterranean
Variations
This Classic
Cordon Bleu
Recipe can be made with Veal or Pork Fillet but we'd like you to try
the Chicken Breast
version, because it is freely available and easy to
work with.
Also, if not handled properly, it can be quite tasteless and
dry, but this way, it is succulent and bursting with flavour.

Try the classic
way first, just to get into
the way of working with
stuffing and then you can experiment with your own variations on the
theme.
We like to make a garlic butter stuffing whizzed with roasted
red peppers - a kind of mediterranean Chicken Kiev.
Or a spoonfull
of ratatouille
makes a
great alternative.
It's
a bit like a blank canvas - you can personalise it any way you like,
but do try the classic way first, you may never want to change it.
Ingredients
for Two People
Two good sized
chicken breast fillets - skinned.
Two slices of
ham, we use jamon serrano but
use any ham you like
Four slices of
good cheese - again we use the manchego cheese but any well
flavoured cheese,such as mature cheddar
will do
About 2ozs. of
fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
2ozs. of
butter and 2Tbs. of olive oil.
Seasoned flour
to coat
One large egg
and a little milk for egg wash

pepper

the Sauce.
2ozs.
each of Tomato Ketchup or Spanish "Tomate Frito" and Horseradish sauce.
Method.
With a meat
hammer, bash the Chicken
Breast out as thinly as you can.
Now - lay half
the jamon and cheese
on your Chicken
escalope.
And then wrap
it up into a neat parcel.
Roll in the
Flour - then the egg wash and then the breadcrumbs.
Using anon
stick fry pansaute
your parcels, over medium heat,
in the olive oil
and butter mixture for
10
- 15 minutes, turning until Golden
all over.
Pop them onto a
baking sheet in a
medium oven for 10 minutes more - just to make sure they are
cooked.
And there you

Serve it up on warm plates with a dollop of the sauce on the side.
