(1 rating)
This is one of the meals that I have made quite often over the years when I have company, because it seems to please everyone. It looks fancy, and so your company will think you worked for hours on the meal, but it is really a very simple and delicious dish to make with ingredients that you usually have on hand. Photos are my own. Enjoy!

How To Make bonnie's chicken cordon bleu
-
1Assemble all ingredients and read directions before beginning. You can prepare the raw chicken breasts ahead and refrigerate them until it is time to cook the meal.
-
2Pound chicken breasts flat, about 1/4 inch. Season very lightly with pepper. Don't add salt. Place 2 ham and 2 cheese slices on top of each prepared breast. Roll up and fasten the edges with toothpicks. Make it secure, but don't push toothpicks too far into the meat.
-
3Mix flour and paprika in a shallow dish and coat chicken pieces. Note: You can use brown rice flour to make it a gluten free recipe.
-
4Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
-
5Add chicken and brown on both sides.
-
6Add wine and chicken granules to the pan. Reduce heat, cover skillet and simmer 30 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear.
-
7In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cream until smooth. Add the mixture to the skillet with the juices and simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth.
-
8Remove browned chicken to a platter, remove the toothpicks, slice into 3/4 inch slices with a sharp knife almost all the way through; then tent with foil to keep warm.
-
9Drizzle the sauce over the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
