Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Filling

    Place a slice of smoked ham, a slice of smoked Gouda cheese, and a spoonful of bacon lardons on each chicken breast.

  3. 3

    Roll the Chicken

    Carefully roll up the chicken, securing it with toothpicks if necessary. Dredge each roll in gluten-free flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Making the Whiskey Cream Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, sauté minced garlic in a bit of olive oil until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Whiskey

    Pour in heavy cream and whiskey, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Preparing the Sides

  1. 7

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 8

    Roast the Carrots

    Toss carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the chicken cordon bleu and serve with whiskey cream sauce drizzled on top. Serve alongside mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Garnish with fresh herbs.
