Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, chives, parsley, thyme and some salt and pepper.
- Gently loosen the skin from the chicken with your fingers. Rub 1 tablespoon of the herb butter between the meat and the skin on each piece of chicken. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add the oil to a pan set over high heat. Carefully place the chicken skin-side down and cook, without touching, until the skin turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet skin-side up, and bake for 15 minutes.
- Place one slice of bread on each plate and spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of the remaining herb butter. Place the tasso ham over the butter and top each with a piece of chicken. Generously ladle The Morning After Red Eye Gravy over the chicken and sprinkle with scallions to serve.
- In a saucepot set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Add the flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring continuously, until the roux is a rich caramel color and smells nutty, 5 minutes. Add the stock and coffee, and stir. Add the paprika, black pepper and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Finish with the cream and season with salt.

Steps:
- Cook chicken patties according to package.
- Meanwhile in a small to medium saute pan, cook the bacon until crisp over medium heat.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and crumble.
- Pour enough of the fat in the pan out to leave 2 tablespoons in the pan.
- Whisk the flour into the bacon drippings and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Pour over the sauce over cooked chicken patties, sprinkle on the crumbled bacon, and serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for ones that are plump and have a slight pink tint.
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear.
- The cordon bleu gravy is a great way to add flavor and richness to the chicken. Be sure to use a good quality white wine and Gruyère cheese.
- If you don't have any white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
- Serve the chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Chicken with Cordon Bleu Gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
