Chicken Cordon Bleu

INGREDIENTS:

1 LB Chicken Breasts
Swiss Cheese
Ham
3 Tbs All-Purpose Flour
1 Tsp Paprika
6 Tbs Butter
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Tsp Chicken Bouillion Granules
1 Tbs Cornstarch
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Tooth Picks


Place ham & cheese in the chicken, folding a flap over and securing it with a toothpick.
(NOTE: Chicken is hard to come by here in Elko, so I had to use chicken tenders which made it more difficult. I suggest using chicken breasts.)


Mix 3 Tbsp flour and 1 tsp paprika in a small bowl and coat chicken on both sides.


Heat skillet on med-high & add 6 tsp of butter. Let butter brown before adding the chicken.
Add chicken, open side down first. Cook until chicken is no longer pink.

Mix 1/2 cup chicken broth & 1 tsp boullion granules (I used one chicken boullion cube and it worked just as great) in a small bowl.
Turn heat down to LOW and pour broth mixture over chicken.
Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend together 1 tsp cornstarch & 1 cup of heavy whipping cream in bowl.

Slowly whisk cream mixture in skillet.
Stir until thick- about 10 minutes.

Remove chicken from heat and pour cream mixture over the top.
Serve and enjoy :)
