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:
- To ensure the venison is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 165°F (74°C) for medium.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy saucepan to pound the venison steaks.
- To prevent the cheese from leaking out, make sure to seal the edges of the venison steaks well before cooking.
- If you're using a non-stick skillet, you may not need to add any oil or butter. Otherwise, add just enough to prevent the steaks from sticking.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, as this will prevent the steaks from cooking evenly.
- Serve the venison cordon bleu immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
