Herb-Crusted Chicken Cordon Bleu

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. 3

   Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Lay two slices of prosciutto on each chicken breast, followed by a slice of herbed Brie cheese.

5. 5

   Roll up the chicken breasts tightly and secure them with toothpicks.

6. 6

   Wrap each chicken roll with two strips of bacon, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.

7. 7

   Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls in a baking dish.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the bacon is crispy.

9. 9

   In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken rolls to create a herb crust.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks.

11. 11

    Slice the chicken rolls if desired and serve hot.
