Easy Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 slices deli Swiss cheese
• 4 slices deli ham
• 2 toothpicks toothpicks
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 0.33 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• cooking spray

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients for the air fryer chicken cordon bleu.
2. Place a chicken breast on a flat surface. Carefully slice horizontally through the middle, making sure not to cut all the way through. Open both sides like a book. Place chicken between plastic wrap and gently pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken breast.
3. Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper. Spread Dijon mustard evenly on top. Add one slice of cheese on each breast, then top with ham and another slice of cheese. Roll each breast up tightly and secure with a toothpick.
4. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place egg in a second bowl and whisk lightly. In a third bowl, mix panko bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Dredge chicken breasts in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten egg, letting excess drip off. Press into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Place breaded chicken breasts on a plate and spray with nonstick spray. Let sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer preheats, then place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
6. Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip chicken breasts and spray any dry spots with nonstick spray. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes more. A meat thermometer inserted should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve immediately!
