Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken cordon bleu, the famous ham-and-cheese-stuffed "blue ribbon" chicken dish, is typically labor intensive. By simplifying the method and using an air fryer, we've turned it into air-fryer chicken cordon bleu, which you can easily make on a weeknight in only 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • 2 slices aged swiss cheese, halved
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons finely shredded swiss cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • dash pepper

Directions

  • Preheat air fryer to 365°. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 10 minutes. Top each chicken breast with 1 slice ham and 1/2 slice cheese, folding ham in half and covering chicken as much as possible. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Carefully spritz crumbs with cooking spray. Cook until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°, 5-7 minutes longer.
  • For sauce, in a small saucepan, whisk flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
  • Reduce to medium heat. Add wine and cheese; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. Serve with chicken.
