Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is SERIOUSLY Yumilicious! It's also SUPER EZ! I made this sweet little dinner for Dan and I tonight. I think I will make it again because he couldn't stop complimenting me and who doesn't just totally LOVE compliments?!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts

4 slices of Ham (nitrite free preferred)

4 Slices Swiss Cheese

4 toothpicks

1 gallon bag

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place 2 chicken breasts, at a time, in a gallon bag and flatten with a rolling pin or mallet. Top with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll, jelly-roll style, and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining breasts. In a 9x9 inch glass dish, drizzle a small amount of olive oil and place chicken inside dish. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Sauce

1 tablespoon butter

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

4 green onions, sliced thin (including most of the green stalk)

2 cups white mushrooms sliced

drippings from chicken

1/2 cup heavy cream

In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium high heat. Saute mushrooms and onions until soft. Add drippings from chicken and heavy cream.

In a serving dish arrange chicken, pour the sauce over the top. Serve hot.

ENJOY!
