Chicken a la cordon bleu is a dish of French cuisine that has been adapted to the Peruvian style by using the delicious paria cheese and artisan ham. Although it may seem complicated to do, in reality preparing is not only easy but also fast, perfect to do it if you are provoked from one moment to another as it does not require planning.
Chicken a la cordon bleu or cordon bleu de pollo can be served as an appetizer if it is cut into medallions or as a main dish if the roll is presented as is. In both ways it is a delicious and nutritious alternative to enjoy at a meal.

3. We cover the fillets with plastic wrap or butter and beat with a hammer or knife until they are completely flattened.
4. Once the breast is completely flattened, we cover it Cover with slices of paria cheese and artisan ham.
5. Now, we roll the breasts by exerting pressure when doing so that they fit well.
6. We use kitchen twine to ensure that they stay rolled up.
7. Once they are tied up, add salt and pepper to taste and pass them through the unprepared flour.
9. Now, we remove the excess flour and pass them through the beaten egg and breadcrumbs.
10. Once the rolls are well covered, we fry them in plenty of oil for 2 minutes, this time is enough to brown the crust.
11. We take them out of the pan and reserve and then take them to the oven at 180 ºC for about 15 minutes.
12. When the 15 minutes pass, we cut and remove the kitchen thread so that it can be eaten without problems.
*This dish is usually accompanied with bechamel sauce to give a creamier consistency to chicken cordon bleu. That's why we also leave you the recipe for the salsa in case you dare to prepare both.

-2 tablespoons of flour
