Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
• 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 3

Place a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham on each chicken breast. Roll up each breast and secure with toothpicks.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In another dish, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 6

In a third dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 7

Dredge each rolled chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 8

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the browned chicken rolls to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve the Chicken Cordon Bleu hot and enjoy your mouth-watering gluten-free meal.
