- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Slice the onion and place in a frying pan with a thin layer of water, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry the onion over medium heat stirring regularly until the water steams off. Continue to cook for a few minute until the onions turn golden in color, but are still soft.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU II
'Cordon Bleu' is a French term, literally translated as 'blue ribbon', that originally referred to an award for culinary excellence given to women cooks! The term can now apply to any superior cook (yes, men too), and also to this dish (chicken, ham and Swiss cheese slices, breaded and sauteed). This yummy version adds paprika and a creamy white wine sauce worthy of its own blue ribbon. Two blue ribbon tastes in wedded bliss -- Chicken Cordon Bleu II!

Steps:
- Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. 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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful chicken, ham, and cheese.
- Pound the chicken breasts thin so they cook evenly. This will also help them to absorb the flavor of the ham and cheese.
- Use a good quality breadcrumb mixture. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand. Just be sure to use a mixture that is flavorful and will hold together well.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the chicken breasts. This will help to add flavor and keep the chicken moist.
- Layer the ham and cheese on top of the chicken breasts evenly. This will ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
- Roll up the chicken breasts tightly and secure them with toothpicks. This will help to keep them from falling apart while they are baking.
- Bake the chicken rolls at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and keep the chicken from drying out.
- Serve the chicken rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
