Air Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu - Hähnchenroulade in Luftfritteuse

This air-fried chicken cordon bleu tastes just like Oma's hähnchenroulade. The perfect head-turning dish to impress your guests and family too. Lecker schmecker!

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
• 4 black forest ham slices 
• 4 mozzarella cheese slices (or cheese of choice)
• ¾ cup (90 grams) all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk
• 1 cup (100 grams) dry breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon (6 grams) paprika
• 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt  
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare a baking tray for the air fryer by spraying it lightly with cooking oil. (I use PAM cooking spray.) Also, set aside three shallow bowls.
2. Cut into the thickest part of the chicken breast to create a pocket.
3. Roll together a slice of cheese and ham, and stuff inside the pocket.
4. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts.
5. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
6. Into your first shallow bowl, pour in flour. Into the second shallow bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Put the breadcrumbs into the third shallow bowl.
7. Dredge a stuffed chicken breast in the flour. Dip into the egg mixture. Then, roll in the breadcrumbs. Place onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
8. Cover the dish with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to help the breading stick to the chicken.
9. Preheat the air fryer oven to 400°F on air fry mode.
10. Place chicken breasts onto a lightly greased air fryer baking pan. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until done.

Notes/Hints:

• Not all air fryers work at the same speed, so be sure to check the chicken with a thermometer before eating. 
• Use whichever kind of cheese you'd like. I used mozzarella because it is one of my favorites.
• If you're having trouble keeping your pockets closed after stuffing them with ham and cheese, use a toothpick to hold them while they chill and bake. Yes, it is safe. We also use this trick for rouladen!
