It seems that to know something about the name of this sanjacobo French we have to go back to the XNUMXth century, during the reign of Henry III. At that time, royal cooks tied their aprons with a blue ribbon or a cordon bleu, in the language of the neighboring country. It can also be made with beef or pork, but perhaps chicken is the recipe that most attracts children. We tested it?

Ingredients

4 book-shaped chicken breast fillets
4 slices of York or Serrano ham
8 slices of cheese to melt
flour
eggs
bread crumbs
oil
pepper and salt

Preparation

We extend the chicken fillets open in half and season them.
Place a slice of cheese on each of the two halves of the fillet. Place a slice of York ham on top of the cheese and finally another slice of cheese. We close with the other half of the breast.
We can also make the cordon bleu in the form of a roll instead of closing it like a sanjacobo.
We coat it by passing it first in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
Fry the cordon bleu in a pan with plenty of olive oil over moderate heat until they are well browned on both sides. We should not put the fire too high to prevent the batter from browning excessively while the meat is still raw inside.
Drain the cordon bleu on absorbent paper before serving.
