I got tired just typing that out!!
And its certainly not something that Im making tonight.
BUT you’ve got the option to definitely make my Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu tonight.
Because its just that EASY.
Secure with toothpicks and thats it!
The stuffing is done!
Choose your own adventure: Crumbing
Next up is the breadcrumb.
After coating the chicken with breadcrumbs, just give them a quick spray and voila!
Super Easy vs Quick Dredge
Heres a comparison of the 2 methods.
Theres no denying the Quick Dredge comes out better looking, and its the option Id use for company.
Plus, full coating of crunch.
Small compromise for the convenience, in my humble opinion!
Just spread the breadcrumbs out on a tray, spray with oil, then bake for 3 minutes.
This oven toasting gives the breadcrumbs a head start on the colour / crunch factor.
Optional extra step, but truly worth it in my view.
PS Some recipes do this in a skillet oven is easier.
And heres a comparison of the Chicken Cordon Bleu with and without toasting the breadcrumbs.
See how splotchy it is without the toasted breadcrumbs compared to the toasted breadcrumbs??
I think you better change this weeks meal plan.
