Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Pound each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  3. On each chicken breast, layer turkey slices and Swiss cheese, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Create three breading stations: seasoned flour, egg mixture, and garlic breadcrumbs.
  5. Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip in egg, and then roll in garlic breadcrumbs.
  6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and brown each chicken roll for 4-5 minutes per side.
  7. Transfer the browned chicken rolls to the baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
  8. To make the Swiss cheese sauce, melt butter, whisk in flour, slowly add milk, and then stir in Swiss cheese until melted.
  9. Let the Chicken Cordon Bleu rest for a few minutes, then serve with the creamy Swiss cheese sauce drizzled over each roll.
