Gluten Free One-Pan Chicken Cordon Bleu

Prep time20 min

Cook time30 min

Tender chicken breasts get pounded thin, wrapped around savory ham and melty Swiss, then rolled into tight cylinders that bake up juicy and golden. A crisp, seasoned coating locks in all that filling while the chicken cooks to perfection in one skillet, so cleanup stays easy. The pan drippings transform into a silky garlic-Dijon sauce, finished with a touch of cream and fresh thyme for a restaurant-worthy finish. Every bite delivers that classic combo of savory ham, gooey cheese, and golden-crusted chicken, all pulled together in one dish. This one's a great pick for a gluten free dinner rotation, especially when you want something that feels indulgent but comes together on a weeknight.

Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder

For the sauce

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
2
Season the top side of each pounded breast with salt and pepper. Lay one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each breast, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Starting from the short end, roll each breast tightly into a cylinder and secure with 2–3 toothpicks.
