Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices swiss cheese
  • 4 slices ham
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Dijon Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Place a cheese slice on top of a slice of ham, then another slice of ham and cheese. Roll them up so the cheese is inside. Place the rolls inside each pocket and close them with 2 toothpicks if necessary.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and a dash of salt and pepper together. Spread it in a thin layer all over the chicken.
  • Place the breadcrumbs on a large, shallow plate. Carefully roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F then place the chicken in a single layer inside. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking oil spray.
  • Air fry for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce: melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and whisk until the mixture is blended and smooth.
  • Add the mustard and Parmesan and simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over chicken.

Notes

Cook frozen chicken cordon bleu in a preheated air fryer at 380 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes.
