Ingredients

4 chicken cutlets (about 1 pound or 450 g)
1 egg
4 slices of ham deli meat, 52 g.
8 Oz of cottage cheese, 250 g.
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
½ cup (50 g) of Italian seasoning breadcrumbs
Cooking spray oil

Instructions

Start by preparing the chicken cutlets. Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ¼ inch (0.6 cm). Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
Lay a slice of deli ham on top of each chicken cutlet, followed by a tablespoon of cottage cheese spread evenly over the ham.
Carefully roll up each chicken cutlet, starting from one end and tucking in the sides as you roll, to form a tight roll. Wrap each rolled chicken cutlet tightly in plastic wrap, forming it into a cylindrical shape like a candy wrapper. Place the wrapped rolls on a plate or tray and transfer them to the freezer. Let them freeze for about 2 hours, or until firm.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). After freezing, unwrap the chicken rolls and discard the plastic wrap.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another shallow bowl, place the Italian seasoning bread crumbs with the cornstarch.
Dip each chicken roll first into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat the process for all chicken rolls.
Lightly coat the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray. Place the breaded chicken rolls into the basket, seam side down, making sure they are not touching each other.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the chicken cordon bleu from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken cordon bleu hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
