Open-Face Chicken Cordon Bleu

This open-face chicken cordon bleu offers a sophisticated twist on the French classic, focusing on high-quality proteins and fresh greens. By skipping the traditional breadcrumb coating and heavy cream sauce, this version highlights the savoury flavours of salty boiled ham and nutty Gruyère cheese. It is a wonderful option for those seeking a lighter, lower-carb meal that does not compromise on indulgence or texture.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in lean protein. The addition of fresh spinach provides a pop of colour and essential nutrients, making it a well-rounded choice for a quick midweek dinner. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a satisfying, wholesome meal that feels truly special.

Ingredients for Open-Face Chicken Cordon Bleu

  • 4 chicken cutlets (450g total

  • about 1/4 inch thick)

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons pepper

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 8 spinach leaves, trimmed

  • 4 thin slices boiled ham (60g)

  • 90g Gruyère, coarsely grated (240ml )

How to make Open-Face Chicken Cordon Bleu

Preheat grill. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a flameproof 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides.

Sauté chicken in butter, without turning, until cooked through and undersides are golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and turn chicken over, then top each cutlet with 2 spinach leaves, 1 slice ham (folding it to fit), and 30g cheese.

Grill 3 inches from heat until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
