(The Easiest) Chicken Cordon Bleu

This recipe is incredible, and it tastes like something you would eat at a nice restaurant. What's better? It only took about 5 minutes to prepare. That's it! On top of that, it wasn't messy. There are other recipes out there that are breaded and can be a pain to make, but you don't' have to worry about that or using a meat pounder with this version. It's different, but simple and delicious. This must be the easiest chicken cordon bleu recipe you will ever see.

Chicken Cordon Bleu


Preheat oven to 400.
Butterfly each chicken breast, meaning cut it lengthwise.

Place a couple of thin slices of ham and a slice of provolone cheese inside each chicken breast.

Fold over each chicken, and you can cut off the excess ham and cheese sticking out so it doesn't get messy or burn

Sprinkle each chicken breast with bread crumbs, salt, pepper, dried minced onion, and parsley, then top with one or two lemon slices. You can add spices on top of the lemons, too.

Place in the oven and bake for 20-45 minutes. It will depend on your oven, because the recipe said 15-20 minutes, but it took me about 40.

Ta da! Tastes great with roasted asparagus on the side.
