Delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders
These sliders feature juicy chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs, layered with ham and Swiss cheese, then baked to perfection. The recipe serves about 6 people and takes approximately 40 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices of ham
- 6 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 slider buns
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
- Coat the Chicken: Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in the egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Cook the chicken cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Assemble the Sliders: On each slider bun, spread a little Dijon mustard. Layer with a piece of ham, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a chicken cutlet. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Bake: Brush the tops of the sliders with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
