How to use an air fryer to prepare frozen chicken cordon bleu

1. Prepare all the ingredients.
2. Arrange a chicken breast onto a level platform for work. Cut through the middle horizontally, not cutting through to the opposite side. Spread out like an open book by opening both sides. Sandwich the chicken breast between two heavy plastic sheets on a stable, level surface. Gently pound it to a thickness of 1/4 inch using the meat mallet’s smooth side. Proceed with the leftover chicken breast.
3. Add salt and black pepper to each chicken breast for seasoning. Drizzle with Dijon mustard. Put one cheese slice over each breast. Top each with two slices of ham and one piece of cheese. Roll up each breast and use a toothpick to fasten.
4. Fill a small basin with flour. Transfer the egg to another utensil. In the third utensil, combine panko bread crumbs and grated Parmesan.
5. After that, preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
6. After dredging the chicken breasts in flour, shake off excess flour. After dipping into the beaten egg, drop any extra egg back into the bowl, then place the breaded chicken breasts onto a plate and mist them with nonstick spray. Press them into the breadcrumb mixture to cover both sides. After allowing the air fryer to preheat for five minutes, place the breaded chicken in the basket in a single layer.
7. After 10 minutes of cooking in the preheated air fryer, turn the chicken breasts over and spray with nonstick spray to dry any areas. Cook for 8 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.

Does Cordon blue have to be gluten-free?

Due to the use of gluten-containing ingredients like flour and breadcrumbs, the classic chicken cordon bleu is not a gluten-free dish. However, you can use flour without gluten, cornstarch, or flour rather than ordinary flour for the dredging, and make it gluten-free by using crushed gluten crackers instead of breadcrumbs.
