Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu

<strong>Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu</strong>

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:

  1. Drizzle olive oil over chicken.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Preheat grill to high heat.
  3. Grill chicken for 5 minutes and then flip.
  4. Grill 3 minutes then wrap each piece in ham.  Grill 1 minute.
  5. Top each with Swiss cheese and grill 1 more minute.
  6. Serve with honey mustard or a green goddess dressing if desired.
