Do you have a recipe for chicken cordon bleu?

I briefly saw a dish being made on the food network for some kind of chicken cordon bleu (I think!) - made with chicken breasts, ham and maybe some kind of goat cheese? I can't find it anywhere -- can you share your recipe with me?





Thank you very much!Do you have a recipe for chicken cordon bleu?
It is SWISS cheese. And it is sooooooo Delish!!! This recipes serves 6 so half it if you must. This is a 5 star recipe. 1363 people can't be wrong, LOL











Chicken Cordon Bleu --











INGREDIENTS


6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves


6 slices Swiss cheese


6 slices ham


3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon paprika


6 tablespoons butter


1/2 cup dry white wine


1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules


1 tablespoon cornstarch


1 cup heavy whipping cream











DIRECTIONS


Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.


Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.


Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm

EASY CORDON BLEU





4 skinless, boneless chicken breast


4 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese


4 thin sliced smoked ham*


8 slices of bacon (can be turkey)


salt and pepper to taste


poultry seasoning


2-3 cloves of garlic chushed


olive oil


cidder vinegar





*Substitutes suggestions and/or add ons: pesto, canadian bacon, spinach, proscuitto, sausages (without their casings), chorizo, be creative





Pound chicken breast to 录-inch thickness. Sprinkle each piece on both sides with salt and pepper, poultry seasoning, some of the garlic, olive oil and just a tiny spalsh of vinegar . Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on each breast. Roll up each breast, then wrap them with 2 slices of bacon, using toothpicks to secure if necessary. (I try not to use the toothpicks).





Bake at 350掳 for 1 hour, let them rest and enjoy.





You can make them right away, but I recommend preparing in advance for the tastes to blend. What I do is after a wrap them in the bacon, I wrap them in saran wrap tightly and freeze them for future use in zyplocks, or put them in the fridge, this will tighten the form of the chicken breast.





Another suggestion is: the same work you will use to make 4 breast will be used for making more, like 6 or 8, so I susually make like 6 at a time and freeze them for some other time.





For the breast freezed I thaw them in the fridge in advance and make them like the others 350 for 1 hr, enjoy!!
The food network has a website. Just google it.
