Cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu

Instructions

• • Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
  • Mix the garlic, thyme, chives, parsley and half the grated KRAFT cheddar cheese with the butter at room temperature in a bowl.
  • Divide the herbed butter into 4 knobs and set aside.
  • Grill the beef bacon slices until crispy in a pan.
  • Slice the side of the chicken breasts to create a long pocket (do not slice all the way through).
  • Stuff each chicken breast with beef bacon, some of the grated KRAFT cheddar cheese and one knob of herbed butter.
  • Fold and seal back the chicken breasts, completely covering the stuffing and making a nice neat parcel.
  • Coat the pieces of chicken in flour, lightly covering both sides. Gently shake off any excess.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl and dip the floured chicken in the beaten eggs.
  • Dip the chicken in the panko and make sure it's well breaded (for a crunchier taste, dip the breaded chicken in egg and bread crumbs again for double coating).
  • In a shallow pan on medium heat, add oil and shallow fry the pieces of chicken for 3-4 minutes on both sides until golden-brown.
  • Remove from frying pan and finish in oven at 180˚C for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve and Enjoy!
