Ingredients For Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe:
- Two substantial skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- Four pieces of Swiss cheese.
- Four slender gammon slices
- One beaten egg
- One and a half cups flour
- Panko Bread Crumbs, 1 cup
- Add the salt and pepper.
Instructions For Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe:
- Set the Air Fryer’s temperature to 375°F.
- Cut the chicken breasts lengthwise in half. Thus, you can unfold them like a book to reveal two thin chicken pieces.
- To thin them out even further, cover the breast with plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet.
- Lay a slice of cheese in the centre of the breast and cover it with the gammon.
- Utilising a toothpick to secure the roll, hold the chicken in place. To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Roll up the chicken, dust it with flour, dip it in the egg, and finally roll it in bread crumbs.
- Cook for 20 minutes in an air fryer set to 375 degrees. To ensure consistent cooking, turn over halfway.
Instructions for Recipe:
To achieve that lovely crispy exterior, make sure the chicken breasts receive a good coating. Before dusting the chicken with flour, you may also coat it in dijon mustard. This should improve the coating’s adhesion and add a hint of extra flavour. I just dipped mine in a side of mustard, though, because my kids detest it. I also used very thin gammon slices, and I believe that turned out nicely. Thus, the knife did not become stuck and pull the gammon out while I was slicing through the chicken. The cooked gammon crumbled easily and added a wonderful flavour and texture.
NOTES, ADVICE, AND SUGGESTIONS:
- To achieve that lovely crispy outside, cover the chicken breasts thoroughly.
- Before dusting the chicken with flour, you may also coat it in dijon mustard. This should improve the coating’s adhesion and add a hint of extra flavour. I just dipped mine in a side of mustard, though, because my kids detest it.
- Cut the ham into very thin pieces. This way the knife won’t catch and yank out the gammon when you cut through the chicken. The cooked gammon crumbled easily and added a wonderful flavour and texture.
- Keep your Air-Fryer Basket empty. When there is hot air circulating around the food to cook it evenly, air fryers function best. There must be spaces between the chicken for it to do this. Your air fryer’s capacity may need you to cook in batches.
- To help prevent sticking, mist your Air Fryer Basket with cooking spray.
- Cook until 165 degrees are reached inside.
