Gluten-Free Joc Appetizer: Mini Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
1/2 cup gluten-free bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
1/4 cup gluten-free Dijon mustard
1/4 cup gluten-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup gluten-free ham, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a shallow bowl, combine gluten-free bread crumbs, grated Swiss cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free Dijon mustard and gluten-free mayonnaise until smooth.

Dip each chicken cube into the Dijon-mayonnaise mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Roll the coated chicken cube in the breadcrumb mixture until it's well-covered.

Place the coated chicken cube on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

While the chicken bites are baking, cook the diced gluten-free ham in a skillet over medium heat until it's lightly browned.

Once the chicken bites are done, remove them from the oven and immediately top each with a small amount of cooked ham.
