Tips for Perfect Cordon Bleu
Make sure the chicken breasts are nice and thin. You can buy them thinly sliced or pound them with a mallet or rolling pin until they’re about half an inch thick.Please take my word for it and make this recipe in a skillet on the stove! Baking can dry out the chicken, but by cooking them in a skillet, you will lock all that moisture in the chicken and achieve a golden crust too.I like to use a block of Swiss cheese and slice chunks about three quarters of an inch wide, and about as long as a string cheese. When you cut into the chicken the cheese stays inside.Don’t skimp on the paprika; it adds a bright, smoky flavor to the dish.
