SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CORDON BLEU
Aquired this through a recipe swap and love that it doesn't use canned soup like the others I've seen. Prep the chicken bundles the night before and you'll be out the door in no time in the morning.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten to ¼" thickness. Season with a pinch each salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Fold cheese so it is about ½" narrower than ham. Place cheese on ham and fold in each of the long sides and then roll from one short end, burrito-style. This will help prevent the cheese from running out during the cooking process. Place one ham roll on a narrow end of each piece chicken and roll into a bundle.
- Wrap a piece of bacon lengthwise around each chicken bundle and secure with a toothpick. Ensure the bacon tightly covers the ends of the bundle as it will also help prevent leaky cheese. Place the bundles into slow cooker.
- Combine ½ cup water, bouillon and wine. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook 5-6 hours on LOW.
- Just before serving, remove chicken from slow cooker. If needed, strain cooking liquid and return to slow cooker. Switch heat to HIGH. Combine cornstarch with remaining ½ cup water. Stir ½ cup of slow cooker liquid into the cornstarch mixture to temper and then add that back to slow cooker. Stir well until sauce thickens.
- Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts. For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality ham and cheese. The ham and cheese are key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use good quality products. Look for ham that is thinly sliced and cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
- Don't skip the bread crumbs. The bread crumbs help to hold the chicken breasts together and give them a crispy crust. Make sure to use fresh bread crumbs, as stale bread crumbs will not work as well.
- Serve the chicken cordon bleu with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include mashed potatoes, rice, and vegetables.

Slow cooker chicken cordon bleu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
