01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, diced ham, and egg. Mix well until thoroughly blended. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Gradually add bread crumbs, mixing until the mixture is no longer sticky and can be easily formed into balls. Season generously with salt and pepper. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Take a small amount of the chicken mixture and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a Swiss cheese cube in the center, then carefully form the chicken mixture around the cheese to create a 2-inch ball, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed. Place the formed balls on a plate. (15 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
In a deep skillet, heat approximately 1 1/2 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (8 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Carefully place the chicken balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes total. (4 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove the fried chicken balls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Then, transfer the drained bites to a baking dish. (2 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is soft and melted, approximately 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Allow the Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites to cool briefly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy! (5 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the chicken mixture.
Ensure the cheese cubes are well-sealed within the chicken mixture to prevent them from melting out during frying.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, ranch dressing, or a creamy Dijon sauce.
These bites can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before frying. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
You can also air fry these bites for a healthier option. Air fry at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
