Chicken Cordon Blue is variation of Austrian dish called Schnitzel (an escalope coated in breadcrumbs and fried) There are so many variations of this dish on the internet and below is my mother's version that I've learned from her
Ingredients:
1kg of chicken breast fillet
Cheddar cheese
1/4 kg of Ham (Pork or Turkey)
2 cans of Campbell's cream of chicken
I can of button mushroom
2 cups of milk
3 bulbs of garlic
1 white onion
Butter
Olive oil
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of sweet basil
pinch of smoked paprika
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
cup of flour
breadcrumbs
Procedure:
- Slice the chicken breast in such a way that it spreads out like paper ( you can ask someone from the market to do it for you)
- On the middle, put 2 to 3 slices of ham on it (till all area is covered)
- Place the cheddar cheese (you can use shredded ones, but i prefer to the use the whole which is cut horizontally)
- Put some salt and pepper and then roll it inside a foil
- Put it in a steamer (pre-boiled) and let it cooked for 30 to 45 minutes. While waiting for it you can now prepare the sauce
- On the pre-heated sauce pan, pour the olive then the butter... sautéed the garlic and onions
- Then slowly add the milk (lower the heat), and mix it slowly (to prevent it from curdling)
- Now pour the cream of chicken and the remaining ingredients (nutmeg, paprika, basil and button mushroom)
- Bring it into a boil, then set is aside... now your sauce is ready you can to proceed in frying the escalope
- For the crust, just mix the flour and the breadcrumbs
- Slightly beat the eggs.... remove the foil, dip the escalope into eggs then into the breadcrumbs.
- Deep fried it, once the crust becomes golden brown you can now remove it from the pan and let the excess oil to drip for a while
- For the presentation, you can slice it diagonally, then pour the sauce on top.
Once in a while I'll share some of my recipes... enjoy eating :)
