Chicken Cordon Blue Panini Recipes

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU PANINI SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Dijon mustard and mayo (or sour cream) until smooth.
• For each sandwich: spread sauce on both sides of the bread (I spread a light coating on the outside of the bread and a more generous dollop on the inside of both pieces). Sprinkle the outside of each piece of bread with a bit of salt and pepper or a garlic/herb seasoning blend and place the pieces of bread seasoning side down.
• Continue layering one slice of bread with a slice of Swiss cheese, cooked chicken, a couple slices of deli ham, and a final slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other slice of bread (seasonings on the outside).
• Cook the sandwich on a preheated panini press or on a hot griddle or skillet on the stove until golden and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet or griddle, flip as needed to cook through - you can also weigh the sandwich down with a heavy pan or skillet for a panini-like effect. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat whatever pan, griddle, etc., that you are using.
• In very small bowl, mix mayo and mustard, set aside.
• Spread evenly on 2 slices bread.
• Top each slice of bread with the swiss cheese.
• On one slice, top with chicken.
• Scrunch up proscuitto, and place on top of chicken.
• Top with other slice of bread.
• Brush top with a little olive oil, evenly and thinly.
• Place sandwich, olive oiled side-down onto hot pan.
• Brush top lightly with more olive oil.
• Press lightly once with spatula.
• Grill/cook about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how hot your pan is. Check to see for yourself. You want it lightly toasted with nice grill marks.
• With your spatula, lift up a corner and hold it up with your fingers. Then slip the spatula underneath, and turn over carefully.
• Brown other side the same way, and remove to cutting surface.
• Cut in half diagonally and enjoy!
• *Note: Any kind of chicken that you happen to have on hand works fine for this, such as leftover roasted, rotisserie, grilled, baked or stewed. Nice way to use up some leftovers and not feel like they're "leftover". Leftover turkey can be subbed as well.
• *Also, the amount of chicken is just approximate. Make your sandwich how YOU like it using as much or little as you want.
• Don't have proscuitto? That's ok, subbing a thin slice or 2 of any kind of ham is just fine. ;).

CRISPY, CREAMY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, tossing to coat evenly.
• On a cutting board, place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch (1 cm) thick with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or heavy pan.
• Remove the plastic wrap and place 2 slices of Swiss cheese, then 2 slices of ham, then another layer of Swiss cheese, and another layer of ham. Evenly roll the chicken and place onto a new sheet of plastic wrap.
• Wrap the chicken in the plastic wrap tightly and use the excess plastic on the sides to twist, firming up the roll of chicken cordon bleu as you work. Tie the excess plastic. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, then chill the rolls in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat a tall-sided pan with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil to 325°F (170°C).
• After the rolls are set, prepare 2 separate large, wide dishes with the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the egg, and then bread crumbs.
• Place the breaded chicken cordon bleu in the oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is an even golden brown. If a good color is achieved and the chicken's center is still not 165°F (75°C), place the chicken cordon bleu on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and finish the chicken in the oven at 325°F (170°C) until that temperature is reached.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a 1 ½-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the garlic until soft. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
• Add the milk and whisk until fully combined with the roux and no lumps remain. Continue whisking until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened.
• Add the mustard, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Slice the chicken and serve drizzled with Dijon sauce.
• Enjoy!
