Hello Peg,
This is the Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe I use for family dinners and company...it is divine!! Chicken Cordon Bleu
6 medium whole chicken breasts, skinned and boned garlic salt powder parsley flakes 1 - 8 ounce package Swiss cheese slices 1 - 8 ounce package sliced cooked ham 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons paprika 8 tablespoons butter or margarine ( I always use butter) 3/4 cup dry white wine 1 teaspoon chicken flavored bouillon (Superior Better Than Bouillion) 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 1/2 cups heavy or whipping cream
With meat mallet or dull edge of knife, pound breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season with garlic-salt powder and parsley. Spread chicken breasts flat; fold cheese and ham slices to fit on top; fold breasts over the cheese and ham slices and fasten securely with toothpicks. On waxed paper, mix flour and paprika; coat chicken pieces with flour mixture. In a large skillet over medium heat, in hot butter, cook chicken until browned on all sides. Add wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 30 minutes or until fork-tender; remove chicken from pan; remove toothpicks and keep chicken warm while you finish the sauce. In cup, blend cornstarch and cream until smooth; gradually stir into skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened; serve generously over chicken.
Happy Cooking, Gina
