Cover the chicken breast with a ham slice(s). Cover with swiss cheese slices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Roll up the chicken breast slowly, keeping the contents inside and compact with the under layer of plastic wrap. To keep the chicken breast in place, wrap it completely with plastic wrap.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Refrigerate the wrapped chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their form.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Prepare a dredging station in the meantime. In a small bowl, mix 1\/2 cup flour, 1\/2 tsp onion powder, 1\/2 tsp garlic powder, 1\/2 tsp black pepper, and 1\/2 tsp salt. To blend, stir everything together.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Whisk the two eggs together in a separate bowl.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Place the panko crumbs in a third basin.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">The oven should be at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Remove the plastic wrap from the chicken breast. Dredge by dipping each side into the flour mixture, then dipping it into the egg mixture, and then dipping it into the panko.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F. (Cook time varies according to the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Melt the butter in a pot to make the dijon cream sauce. Whisk in the flour, then drizzle in the milk in a steady stream, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens over medium heat. Combine the mustard and swiss cheese in a mixing bowl (if using). As desired, drizzle dijon sauce over the roasted chicken.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Serve immediately with freshly cut parsley as a garnish.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like is chicken cordon bleu because it is One of my favorite dishes.
