I've got this recipe form cookaround. I made it several times and it's just great!
It's like those frozen or ready ones you buy from the market. Even better cos there aren't any addictives. Another surplus is that they are cooked in the oven and not fried.
With this recipe I make 6 Cordon Bleu. For me it would be enough for 6 people. It surely depends on how hungry these people are! :)
I hope you like it as much as we do!
Chicken Cordon Bleu:
Ingredients:
100g parmesan (cut into chunks)
500g chicken breast (cut into small chunks)
1 egg
20g flour
5g salt
6 slices of ham (I used turkey ham)
6 slices of Swiss cheese (I used sottilette cheese)
to coat with:
1 egg (beaten)
Bread crumbs
EVO
Preparation:
Grate parmesan for 15 seconds speeding up from 2 to 9. Set aside
Put chopped chicken in TM bowl, proceed for 30 seconds on Speed 4
Add grated parmesan, egg, flour and salt. Proceed for 30 seconds on Speed 4
Divide into 12 pieces. Roll each out approx 10cm diameter by your hands (Wet your hands with water to work better)
Place ham and cheese on one piece and close it over with another one. This way you will have 6 cordon bleu at the end. While closing stick the sides nicely so the cheese wouldn’t come out during baking
Cover oven tray with wax paper. Brush it over with some oil
Soak your Cordon Bleu first into beaten egg and then bread crumbs. Place them in the tray
Pour very little oil on the top of your Cordon Bleu
Cook in the 180°C preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. (After 15 minutes passed, turn them upside down and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes)

Tips/Hints:
In original recipe it comes out 5 Cordon Bleu. I always make 6.
In original recipe 2 eggs are used to coat with. For me 1 is enough
-
What a fabulous idea!!! :D Thanks for your recipes. My kids were just looking over my shoulder while I was looking at that one and will now keep on me to make them! :)
-
I believe they would like. Check out also the recipe named as Chicken Meatballs with Corn Flakes that I posted some days back. I believe the kids would also like that one:)
I crossed my fingers. Let me know when you make it :)
-
That looks brilliant! Will have to try sometime.
-
Made these for dinner tonight & what a WINNER. They are really tasty & very easy. Thank you for a fabulous recipe Farfallina. Sorry there is no photo- my boys don't finish swimming until 7pm so they are ravenous by the time they get home and it's dinner on plates & eat. I'd probably lose a hand if I tried to take a photo before they got it ;D ;D ;D
-
I really am happy that you all liked them!
No problem about photo. I wouldn't want you to lose your hand obviously :D :D :D
-
Great work farfallina. This was a very popular recipe for entertaining guests many years ago and your were judged by your abilities to make this and veal foyot (?) for a crowd. Making sure the cheese didn't ooze out was always a challenge.
-
I made this several times. Each time cheese in 1 of them came out. Why always only one dunno. They would judge my cooking as very stable I guess :)
-
I can't wait to try these. There are so many recipes in the mains section that I haven't read I think my menu planning is done for the next couple of weeks.
-
I made these today, doubling the recipe so that we will have enough for a picnic tomorrow. I added some chopped spring onion to the chicken in the TMX. Perverse it may sound, but these are great with Thai chili sauce :P
Family said the chicken was delicious. Thanks for the recipe :)
-
I am happy it conquered the heart of your family ;) ;) ;)
For me spring onion could be a nice surplus. I may try next time
-
Made this tonight for supperThey were very very tasty and both DH and DS loved them. They will definitely become a family favourite recipe.
-
Very happy to hear such positive feedback ;)
-
Thanks Farfallina, I made these last night and they were a big hit! I never would have bothered making these myself in the past (too easy to just pick them up at the chicken shop), but these were so quick, and it's wonderful and very satisfying knowing exactly what has gone into them. I used mozzarella as that was all I had, and also only had one leaky one :)
-
Yes Berry, it was what i did exactly for many years. I used to buy it in supermarket, frozen or not. It is nice to know there isn't anything addittive inside and you can fill them as you wish
Leaky one? So far I've always managed to have one :o :) :D
-
These sound and look fabulous. Will be making them tomorrow night for tea.
farfallina, as I was copying the recipe and formatting it in Word, I notice that you use the word 'proceed' and I think you may mean 'process', as in mix at high speed.
Thanks for the wonderful recipes and great photos on your forum!
-
Yes MJ, sometimes I mean process, other times I mean like "continue/start for x seconds on x speed"
I guess I got the habit of using it from the italian word "procedere" :)
Thank you for letting me know by the way. ;)
-
Farfallina this is really tasty and quite impressive. We loved it. I plan to make it again quite soon and do it as Chicken Kiev with garlic butter in it. Thank you for the recipe.
-
What a great idea Cookie. I love some of those old recipes that I haven't had for years.
-
I am happy you enjoyed it
Garlic butter? Never tried
you can make also that with Thermomix ;)
-
We had these tonight and they were YUM! The soft texture was great for my 13 months old twins. I used chicken thigh. Next time I think I will leave out the parmesan, it was a little overpowering for us. Or the chicken mixture would be great for chicken nuggets.
Thanks for a great recipe!
-
Tried these and they were great, I think I was a bit light on the cheese and next time would add a bit more even if they did leak out. Like the idea of chicken kiev, may get around to trying it. :-))
-
Wow... I get such nice feedback for this one :o
Happy that everybody enjoys
Surely you can make some modifications as you like
Also 1 of my 6 leaked each time i cooked. With time and experience we will overcome that i guess ;)
-
sounds great, i will make these for the kids tommorow.

-
I think I need to make these tomorrow night!
-
Have a nice supper tomorrow then ;)
-
Could you make these at lunch time and keep then in the fridge to cook at dinner time?
Many thanks
-
I'm sure you could, RubySlippers.
I am going to freeze some of these (cooked) for a quick meal that can be easily heated up in the oven.
-
You could RubySlippers
Once I cooked the half amount
I left the rest for the next day
I prepared only 3 chicken cordon bleu. I kept the rest of the chicken mixture in the fridge for the next day
I prepared the rest (divided into 6 pieces, put cheese and ham inside....goes on) just before I cooked them
They were just as good as the first day!
As an alternative to how i prepared, I believe you can prepare all the same day and keep in the fridge all ready. If you will prepare all in advance I could recommend you to cover them with plastic film so they wouldn't stick one another
I hope you enjoy them ;)
-
I have just discovered this recipe and am so excited to make it tomorrow! Thank you also for going to the trouble to translate and post it here.
Best wishes, Cottchick
-
No trouble at all cottchick
I hope you like it ;)
-
I have promised chicken kiev's for dinner tonight and would love to try this recipe. Would I just use garlic butter instead of the cheese and ham and still cook it for the same amount of time? :)
-
That's what I'd do Chelsea. Haven't made my Kiev's yet.
-
Same here Chelsea, was only thinking about them last night and how easy something like that would be to serve a heap of people instead of lots of different casseroles.
-
Farfallina this is really tasty and quite impressive. We loved it. I plan to make it again quite soon and do it as Chicken Kiev with garlic butter in it. Thank you for the recipe.
I didn't try garlic butter Chelsea. Cookie was planning to make it with garlic butter as you said. I don't know if she has tried yet. ???
Maybe she can give feedback :-))
-
I made the kiev's tonight (following Cookie and JD's advice) and they were so yummy! My DH was thrilled.
I think I might post it as a separate recipe (but as a variation of Farfallina's wonderful recipe), as it may get a little lost in this thread. :)
-
I am happy you enjoyed it ;)
I never had Kiev.. I guess. When you post it I will try also that. When we stop with this diet :-)) :)
-
I made a different version tonight.
I just minced 1 garlic clove in with the chicken mix, then after egging, rolled the patties in Italian-style breadcrumbs (pg. 14 EDC).
I didn't put a filling in the centre.
They were delicious, and I enjoyed the peppery/parmesan crumb dipped in a little chilli sauce.

Thanks for the recipe Farfallina :D
I believe this recipe can have many variations ;)
-
They look very yummy Maddy.
I am going to try (one day :-))) "mini" versions as finger food or part of a buffet. Perhaps some with garlic butter (kiev style) and some with feta, sundried tomatoes and basil. They would be so easy to prepare in advance and then throw in the oven when guests arrive. :)
-
Nice picture Maddy.I've made this original version which we loved, it's nice to see all the variations coming forward for us all to try.
-
Great pictures Maddy. They look gorgeous!
I am happy that this became a very productive recipe with many versions ;)
-
Thanks for another idea Maddy. Farfallina these are coming out with so many different versions, thanks for the original recipe.
-
Good work maddy - another great variation. :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks Farfallina, I made these today as we are going on holiday for a couple of weeks and I wanted to use up what we had in the fridge...... ham and cheese packets opened. I did a couple of things differently. I used a large icecream scoop to portion out the chicken mix. I minced the chicken while still frozen, following your instructions. perfect. I also mixed the egg for coating with 1 Tablespoon of yogurt and brushed it on. Like other Forum members the possibilities are endless. Thank you for such a great recipe. ;D ;D ;D
-
Have a good holiday. Good to see the ice cream scoop being used :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Nice idea to use icecream scoop for portion ;)
My sister in law sometimes adds some ham and sausage into chicken mixture
-
It is good for portions for biscuits/cookies too - more even & less mess with rolling etc in the hands
-
I can't stand sticky hands so I use icecream scoops for every thing i can.These reheat really well, 30 mins at 200c.
-
Reading your post about sticky hands Chookie reminded me that my dear Mum hated sticky things especially honey,treacle and golden syrup.If I have have anything icky to do I tend to wear those thin gloves.
-
Abolutely loved this, and so did the hubby. I didnt have any leaks, but mine seemed a little watery on the inside - not sure if this is from spreading the patties with wet hands or if its from the cheese?!? Either way these are still a winner in my book. Thank you for sharing this recipe. ;D
-
:D I am so excited we are trying these tonight, hopefully i have two kids eating their dinner :)
-
I hope you and your kids liked them ;)
-
Every one cleaned their plates, an absolute winner !!! Thank you soooo much :D
-
Good work tessa
-
Great Tessa
Very glad to hear that you enjoyed it ;)
-
We had this a couple of nights ago. I had forgotten how easy it is to make and how lovely it tastes.
-
Cookie for people like us who are open to new ideas and enjoy to try new recipes, old good ones are sometimes forgotten.
It's been so long since I made this for the last time!
Thank you for reminding ;)
-
I made these for dinner last night and the Family loved them. After I had cleaned up I also decided I might as well make the Chicken Kiev's so I now have them in the freezer for another night.
The front 6 are Chicken Kiev and the back 6 are Chicken Cordon Blue
-
I remember the hostess made these at the very first dinner party I was invited to. Unfortunately she was a very ordinary cook and to make matters worse, she hadn't ever made these before ie prior to the party. The poor thing was so flustered when the chicken turned out dry as anything ie cooked too long, the cheese had oozed out of everywhere and lord knows what happened to the ham- I think you could probably carbon date it , it was so tough. Needless to say she has never made them since and buys them from her butcher! I love the sound of this recipe, I'll give them a go with gluten free breadcrumbs- cant wait to try them.
-
I forgot to add that she had even use a women's weekly recipe to make them- proof that some people are capable of stuffing up a women's weekly recipe!!
-
I am happy you enjoyed them Thermomix lover
Your photos look fabulous!
Merlin I hope these ones work for you
I don't ever try new recipes when I have guests
I try them on my husband for the first time and then if they work fine I carry on ;)
-
Fantastic recipe! I made half cordon bleu & half Kiev. The mixture would make a great chicken burger if it was unfilled or nuggets. It's also very economical, six portions from two large chicken breasts :) This will definitely be a regular at our house, I said to my son "this is really good isn't it?", he replied " no Mum, these are really VERY good". Then he asked if he could have them for breakfast, lunch & dinner the next day :)
-
It is not that easy to find something that would be appreciated by both parents and kids
in this case, I am happy everyone is satisfied ;)
-
I haven't made these for ages so decided to give them a whirl again tonight for dinner.Served them with potato wedges coated in Chookie's KFC seasoning (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11008.0)and salad.Everyone ate everything :D

-
Nice meal CC. Never thought to do the wedges that way :-))
-
Very clever CC. The chicken looks perfect.
