Air Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu ~ Hähnchenroulade in Luftfritteuse

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!

Prep Time:

30 minutes

Cook Time:

20 minutes

Total Time:

50 minutes

Servings:

4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 black forest ham slices 
  • 4 mozzarella cheese slices (or cheese of choice.)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Prepare baking tray for the air fryer by spraying 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 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 remaining chicken breasts.
  8. Cover dish with saran wrap and place in fridge for about 20 minutes to help breading stick to chicken.
  9. Preheat air fryer oven to 400°F on airfry mode.
  10. Place chicken breasts onto 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 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!
