Homemade chicken Cordon Bleu & mash

Step 1

Flatten the chicken using a heavy bottomed pan.

Step 2

Add a slice of cheese and ham on top of the chicken breast. Cut off anything that overhangs.

Step 3

Optional: Pass the blue cord in the flour if you have any. (This will make the meat more tender when cooking)

Step 4

Prepare two plates, one with the breadcrumbs and another with a beaten egg. Dip into the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat the two steps again.

Step 5

Melt some butter in a hot frying pan and cook the cordon bleus for 5 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes.

Step 7

In a pot of boiling water, add the potatoes & cook for 15 min. Drain once cooked through.

Step 8

After 10 minutes have passed, turn down the heat, cover the pan and cook the cordon bleus for 10 extra min.

Step 9

Mash the potatoes using a fork, adding a bit of butter or olive oil, some milk and salt and pepper.

Step 10

Serve the mashed potatoes with the cordon bleus. Season and serve!
