Hey y'all! Today I flew over to Virginia to visit my good friend and her sweet baby.
It's been so fun catching up and laughing too hard with my bestie and her babe.
But I couldn't resist slipping this post in during some down time (I mean...a baby's gotta sleep right?).

Best and Easiest Gluten-Free Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe:
So I'm quietly typing away at my keyboard with my mouth watering while I try and describe to you how more-than-amazing this dinner recipe idea is.
This gluten-free chicken cordon bleu recipe slices juicy chicken breasts and then dips them in farm fresh eggs and a gluten free bread crumb mix that has hints of garlic and onion in it too.
Okay, so this is all good....
But then here's where the story gets really good....
I stuff these chicken breasts with freshly shredded swiss cheese and thin and juicy slices of ham.
Sounds wonderful and all... but why is this recipe any different from chicken cordon bleu recipes you've had in the past?
Well have you ever had homemade chicken cordon bleu from scratch? If you have then you would understand.
If not, then let me explain to you how fresh and crispy the crunchy garlicky outside is.
Then let me tell you how cheesy and gooey the inside is.
Then let me explain to you the warm savory garlicky aroma that comes out of your oven and the juicy chicken that splashes onto your plate.
What to pair with chicken cordon bleu:
We like pairing out chicken cordon bleu with blue cheese green beans, sriracha cream broccoli, apple cider poppyseed salad, air fryer potatoes, baked sweet potato fries, frozen air fryer fries, or teriyaki green beans!
Gluten-Free Chicken Cordon Bleu Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- Gluten free bread crumbs
- egg, beaten
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- 4 slices of ham
- swiss cheese
- parsley to taste
Gluten-free bread crumbs to use:
Use whichever breadcrumbs that you have access to. Udi's Gluten-Free Italian Breadcrumbs is a product that is accessible to many and has always been consistent for us.
BUT, after making my own breadcrumbs and tasting the difference it makes, I have to HIGHLY recommend trying to make your own fool-proof breadcrumbs.
Not only do these homemade gluten-free breadcrumbs taste so much better than store-bought, but you can make so much more for so much more of an affordable price!
Make this 3-ingredient gluten-free bread crumb recipe and store extra breadcrumbs in the freezer.
Every time I need to use breadcrumbs, I simply just pull out my plastic storage zippie bag full of homemade bread crumbs and use just what I need and place the rest back in the freezer for next time!
How to make gluten-free chicken cordon bleu:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, onion powder, and garlic powder together.
- Dip the chicken breasts into the beaten egg and then directly into the bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the greased casserole dish and bake for 15 minutes.
- Take the chicken out of the oven and place one piece of ham and 2 Tablespoons of cheese on top of each piece of chicken. Top with parsley.
- Bake the chicken breasts for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Then enjoy!
When to serve chicken cordon bleu:
This gluten-free chicken cordon bleu recipe is perfect for family meals around the holiday season.
The recipe is fancy enough to impress any palate and it's easy enough to make that anyone can throw it together and get it in your oven before guest arrive.
How to store leftover chicken cordon bleu:
You can store cooked and cooled leftover chicken cordon bleu in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
How to reheat leftover cordon bleu:
To reheat your leftover chicken cordon bleu, simply place your refrigerated chicken recipe in a microwave-safe dish with a cover fited loosely on top so that air can escape.
Microwave your leftovers on high power for 60-120 seconds depending on how thick your chicken is and how hot you like your reheats.
Then enjoy again!
