"Our midweek Wednesday meal was Chicken Cordon Bleu with asparagus. I absolutely loved how this chicken tasted. The organic chicken breast was moist and the flavors of the ham and melted Swiss cheese married well with the chicken. The asparagus were made the same way as the night before by boiling them in water. They too were tender, but not overcooked and were salted and buttered perfectly."
Chicken Cordon Bleu Method
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, lightly spray a baking pan
2. Set up the following: 1 plate with flour, 1 plate with bread crumbs, 1 bowl with 2 whisked eggs/milk and S&P - a small plate with your ham and Swiss cheese
3. Pound the Chicken with a meat cleaver or cover with plastic wrap and use a hammer
4. Place one piece of ham and one piece of cheese in the center of each of the chicken breasts
5. Roll each filled chicken breasts and use 3 tooth picks to hold together
6. Dip each breast in the flour then the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs to coat
7. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes until the chicken is browned on the outside and the juices run clear on the inside
"Remember when you are working with chicken do not cause cross contamination, below are a few things to remember"
1. Wash your hands anytime you've touched the raw chicken and then are going to touch anything else in the kitchen
2. If you cut the chicken on a cutting board, never use the same cutting board and knife to cut other foods that will be served without being cooked
3. In the above recipe I explained to set out the ham and cheese on a plate before you touch the chicken, this is so you don't get raw chicken juice on the ham and cheese packaging
