AIR FRIED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

CREDITS TO: nutritiontofit.com

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 4 equal pieces
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 ounces deli ham
1 large egg
1 tbsp water
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:

To Assemble:

1. Preheat the oven or the air fryer to the temperature required for your cooking method (see below). Prepare the egg wash by beating the egg and water in a shallow bowl. Prepare the breading station by mixing the bread crumbs, parmesan, and seasonings together. Set aside.
2. Using a mallet, pound each piece of chicken breast into thin slices, about 1/4-1/2" thick. To keep your work station cleaner, you can place the chicken in a gallon-sized plastic bag while you're pounding it, then carefully remove. Very lightly season chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Place cheese on top of the chicken breasts – feel free to cut cheese in half or tear into pieces to evenly cover the cheese.
4. Layer a thin slice of ham on top of the cheese.
5. Carefully roll the chicken. Once rolled, place seam-side down while rolling the remaining pieces of chicken. As long as the chicken stays seam/ open-side down, the chicken will remain rolled without the need of twine or toothpicks.
6. Carefully coat each rolled chicken piece in the egg wash, then transfer to the seasoned bread crumbs and coat chicken evenly.

To Air Fry:

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (if your air fryer preheats). Lightly spray the rack/ air fryer basket and the tops of the chicken with nonstick spray to promote better browning. Once chicken is placed inside the frying basket (chicken pieces should not be touching), "fry" for 12-15 minutes. When done, chicken should be crisp, golden brown, and the internal temperature should reach 165°F. Remove, let rest a couple minutes, then serve.
