Chicken Cordon Blue

By far one of my favorite meals to cook and eat.  YUMMY but don't be on a diet while eating this :)

Ingredients:
  • Split Chicken Breast Pounded
  • Swiss Cheese 
  • Ham Lunch Meat
  • Breading I like Ritz Crackers but I used crushed croutons this time
  • Butter
Hollandaise Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1/2 Cup Sourcream
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • 3/4 lb Mixed Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Season to taste: Garlic, Cayenne, Season Salt, Onion Powder
  1.  In a food Processor blend croutons or Ritz crackers to crumbs.
  2. Melt 1 stick of Butter
  3. In saran wrap place each chicken breast separately and pound it about an 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Roll the Cheese and Ham with the chicken
  5. Dip Chicken in melted butter, then in crumbs.
  6. Bake in oven for 40 minutes at 400.

Sauce:
  1.  In a large sauce pan melt butter and blend flour to a smooth paste.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients together in the saucepan till bubbly and hot.
  3. Pour over Chicken and Serve!
SIDES:

  • Glazed Carrots
  • White Rice
  • Soft Rolls
(I usually serve this meal with mashed potatoes instead of the rice and as gravy I use the hollandaise sauce.  Dave prefers the mashed potatoes)

Glazed Carrots:
  1. Place one bag of mini carrots in a large pot and boil till tender
  2. Drain, add 1/2 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  3. Mix well and sprinkle some parsley on top
White Rice:
  • Cook as directed and serve with Hollandaise Sauce.
