Chicken Cordon Bleu

Another fave recipe around here, we are big chicken fans if you haven't noticed ;)

Chicken Cordon Bleu

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 slices ham
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. (i just slice reg. chicken breasts in half length-wise)
Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges.
Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks.
Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides.
Add the wine and bouillon.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter.
Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet.
Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...

BBQ Sauce (R1 Approved)

I've actually been making my own bbq sauce for years. The OG recipe can be found here on this blog even ;) all the way from 2010, ha.

Sweet Oatmeal Bread

So far this has been a favorite, it was a very nice bread overall. We enjoy adding a lot of flax and wheat germ and other randomness (seeds, nuts, etc) to our breads, and I don't have any specific measurements for those, just add as you like. Sweet Oatmeal Bread (1.5lb loaf) 1/2C old-fashioned rolled oats 3/4-7/8C water 2T molasses 1T sugar 1t salt 2C bread flour 1 1/2t active dry yeast Place all ingredients in bread pan, using the least amount of liquid listed in the recipe. Select LIGHT CRUST setting Press Start Observe the dough as it kneads. After 5 to 10 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a smooth, soft, pliable ball that is slightly tacky to the touch. ***I used delayed timer on this, and the min amount of water, and it turned out fine. I also liked the light crust a lot, it was a good change from the med crusts I have been doing***
