We love this dish!! It is served best over a bed of Jasmine rice with a side of broccoli or asparagus. Pour the sauce over the chicken/rice bed and over the vegetables. This is a gourmet dish that the whole family will love!!!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients

  • 5 skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 5 slices of swiss cheese
  • 5-10 slices of ham
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 3 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 c. heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 c. fresh chopped Oregano
  • 1 tsp. fresh ground pepper

Directions

  1. Pound chicken breasts so they are approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Cut each slice of swiss in half. Now wrap/roll the swiss in the ham like a burrito and place in the center of the chicken breast and roll up. Secure with 3-4 toothpicks.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the flour and paprika.
  4. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sprinkle with the flour/paprika mixture. Cook until golden brown on all sides.
  5. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to med. low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, turning every 8-10 minutes until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
  6. Remove chicken from pan and remove toothpicks (keep on a warm platter).
  7. Blend the cornstarch with the cream and garlic powder in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of fresh chopped Oregano and whisk slowly into the skillet (keeping the leftover juices from the chicken/wine mixture). Stir until thickened and pour over chicken. Serve warm.
