These chicken cordon bleu nuggets are small pieces of chicken sandwiched around ham and cheese and secured with toothpicks. Coat them in flour seasoned with salt and pepper, egg beaten with water, and breadcrumbs. Instead of frying, bake them for 10 to 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F), so they are less greasy. The whole meal is ready in about half an hour and works for lunch, dinner, or a party.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the chicken breasts into 24 equal pieces, then cut each piece in half. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cut the cheese and ham into pieces about the same size as the chicken. Place ham and cheese between each pair of chicken pieces and secure with a toothpick.
Mix the flour with salt and pepper in one bowl. In a second bowl, beat the egg with the water, and place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Coat each nugget first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in breadcrumbs.
Place the coated nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving the toothpicks in place for now. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove the toothpicks, turn the nuggets over, and bake for another 10 minutes.

Tip: Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry skillet until golden and let them cool before coating the chicken. The nuggets will brown better in the oven, and the coating will be crispier.
