SUNNY'S HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS (CHICKEN CORDON BLEU)
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix the ham and cheese. Gently slice a lengthwise pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff each breast with the ham and cheese mixture and secure with a skewer or a few toothpicks.
- In a medium shallow bowl, add the flour and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. In a second medium shallow bowl, add the mustard, paprika, eggs, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and whisk to combine. In the third medium shallow bowl, add the panko. Run each piece of chicken through these bowls in the order of setting them up: flour, egg then panko.
- In a large straight-sided pan, add enough oil to just cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch. Heat on medium high and when the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken in batches, placing each piece in the oil away from you so there is less splatter. Add more oil between batches if needed. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt and a tiny spritz of lemon.
STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS (CORDON BLEU)
This versatile recipe will work with any filling, just make about 1 1/2 cups of it (3 tbsp per breast). Also, if you don't have a meat mallet you can use a heavy glass bottle (just don't miss!).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (Ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).
- Remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.
- Mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.
- Fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so I just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).
- Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.
- Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).
- Remove toothpicks before serving!
STUFFED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU
My boyfriend hates chicken. That being said, all relationships have compromise and he loves the flavor combination of this cordon bleu dish. It's sure to be a favorite with the picky eaters in your life--especially those who don't like chicken. Serve with steamed rice and green vegetable of your choice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken in the freezer until slightly frozen, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and cut in half when cool.
- Add mushrooms and garlic to the bacon fat and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
- Mix 1/2 of the ale with 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the mushroom mixture; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Combine milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until butter melts and mixture is warm. Mix remaining beer with remaining cornstarch in a small bowl; add to the milk mixture along with chicken bouillon. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and combine with mushroom mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a casserole dish with parchment paper.
- Place eggs in a pie plate and mix with a fork until beaten. Place bread crumbs in a separate pie plate.
- Remove chicken from the freezer. Cut a small pocket into each breast; do not cut in half or cheese will melt out during baking. Divide bacon and Swiss cheese evenly and stuff in chicken breasts. Immediately dip in beaten egg mixture, then dredge in bread crumbs. Place in the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Just before the chicken is ready, warm the cream sauce on the stove.
- Plate chicken and ladle warm sauce over each portion.

INDIVIDUAL STUFFED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU MEATLOAF, BACON WRAPPED
How fun to serve. They are not hard and just something really different to serve to guests. The meatloafs come out golden brown with the bacon and juicy inside. I love to serve mine right on a large serving platter leaving a couple whole to see how pretty they look, and then slice the others in 3 or 4 slices per loaf to show off the filling. I like to think of it as a pretty standard meatloaf mix, then a filling of swiss cheese or gruyere (which I prefer), good baked ham (proscuitto is great, but any good ham will work), a honey mustard sauce, and topped off with more honey mustard and smoked or hickory bacon slices. Just baked individually on a baking sheet. All free formed. I like the rustic look Serve with Recipe #397749 and Recipe #391590. You could easily make these ahead of time and just refrigerate covered well and then bake the next day.

Steps:
- Mustard Sauce -- Simply mix the mustard and honey and set to the side.
- Meatloaf -- In a large bowl, add the onion, celery, garlic, eggs, steak sauce, worcestershire, parsley, Italian seasoning, pepper, and parmesan and mix well to combine.
- Bread Crumbs -- In a small pie plate or bowl, soak the bread slices in the milk for just 10-20 seconds and then squeeze out the liquid. Break up the bread in the bowl to add to the meatloaf mix. Stir well to combine.
- Chicken -- Add the ground chicken to the bowl and mix to combine once again. Don't over mix, it can become tough. It's done.
- Loafs -- First is to divide your meatloaf mix into 4 portions, for 4 loafs. Then layout a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray (it will keep the meat from sticking), and then top it with enough mix for 1 of the loafs. Press down flat (like a small rectangle), it doesn't have to be perfect. Just not too thin because you are going to add the stuffing and then roll it.
- Once the meat it flat, spread 1/4 cup of the mustard/honey sauce on top of the meat. Make sure to leave a 1/2" border around the edges. Then top with 1/4 cup swiss cheese, followed by 1 ham slice, 1/3 cup of the parmesan, and 1/4 cup more swiss cheese. Stuffing is done.
- Form the Loaf -- Just roll up. I start at one of the long sides, and roll (just like rolling a buritto or sandwich roll). Once it is rolled, squeeze the ends together, so nothing leaks out, and slightly squeeze the whole roll so it is tightly sealed and form like a small loaf.
- Topping -- Place all the loafs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or you could use foil. Both work great for easy clean up. Brush each loaf, the top and sides with 1/8 cup mustard sauce per each loaf. Top with the bacon slices, going horizontally across the loaf (not lengthwise). Four slices should fit nicely going across the top, and make sure the bacon hangs over the sides going down to the bottom, this will give it great flavor. Done.
- Bake -- 375 degree oven, middle shelf for about 45 minutes until golden brown and the bacon is crispy.
- Serve -- As I said, I love to put them on a big serving tray because they are so pretty, The bacon forms natural slices, so I cut 1 or 2 slices off of a couple of loafs as needed to show off the pretty rolled filling.
- Some mashed "spuds," or just a good baked potato, and some roasted asparagus in a foil pouch so NO extra pots or pans. ENJOY!

Steps:
- 1. Mix together the bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the ham and cheese. Set aside. Pound the chicken cutlets thin. Lay the chicken cutlets out and divide the ham and cheese mixture between them, placing the mixture in the center. Roll up jelly roll fashion using toothpicks if you feel it is necessary. Dredge the rolls in flour. Coat with beaten egg, then roll in reserved crumb mixture covering well.
- 2. Sauce: In saucepan on the stove, melt butter and then add the flour. Stirring with a wisk until the mixture smells like peanut butter. Yes, put your nose down there and soon as the mixture smells like peanut butter, add the milk all at once. Whip until smooth, thick and creamy. Add spices, cheese and set aside. If you are making ahead, put a skim of butter on the top to keep the sauce from forming a skin.
- 3. In oil about an inch deep in a skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees. Brown the rolls on all sides being sure not to crowd in the skillet. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Garnish and serve with the cheese sauce over top or on the side.
Tips:
- For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken breasts are patted dry before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture.
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- For a flavorful filling, use high-quality ham and cheese. Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese are all good options.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
- Serve the stuffed chicken cordon bleu with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
