FOR THE BASE

• 60 ml of milk (lactose-free for those who are intolerant)
• 20 gr of potato starch
• Breadcrumbs to taste (gluten-free for those with celiac disease) about 4 tbsp
• Salt to taste.

FOR THE STUFFING

• 4 slices of raw ham

FOR BREADING

• 2 eggs
• Rice flour to taste
• Breadcrumbs to taste (gluten-free for those with celiac disease)

To prepare the cordon bleu the first thing to do is cut the chicken breast into coarse pieces and put it in a kitchen mixer. Now turn on the mixer and blend the chicken.
Then add the milk, the grated cheese, the potato starch, the salt and continue to blend.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and add a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Mix all the ingredients with your hands until you get a soft and sticky mixture.
Take a 10 cm pasta dish, put a layer of chicken on the base and level with your hands. Place a slice of ham and an enamel in the centre of the chicken layer and close the cutlet with another layer of chicken. My advice is to wet your hands to shape the cutlet.
Remove the cordon bleu from the pasta bowl and with your hands give the classic shape of the cordon blue, closing the edges well. Keep doing this until you finish all the dough, you will get 4 large cordon bleu.
Now bread the stuffed cutlets passing them first of the rice flour, then in the beaten eggs and finally in the breadcrumbs.
