Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu
I was in the mood for something different and this recipe hit the mark. This is quick and simple to make. I paired this with Cheddar and Chives Zucchini Bread and a sauté of squash, onion, and green pepper. Note: You can use whole chicken breasts. I like tenderloins because they are the perfect serving size for children.
Ingredients:
7-8 chicken tenderloins
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I used a garlic infused olive oil)
Salt and pepper
7-8 slices of deli ham
3-4 slices of Swiss cheese cut in half
Directions:
- Drizzle olive oil over chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Grill chicken for 5 minutes and then flip.
- Grill 3 minutes then wrap each piece in ham. Grill 1 minute.
- Top each with Swiss cheese and grill 1 more minute.
- Serve with honey mustard or a green goddess dressing if desired.
