Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices deli-sliced ham (thick cut)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 Tablespoons CMM Zest & Herb Chicken Seasoning
Dijon Cream Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 4 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
- Preheat the grill. Set your grill to 375°F.
- Stuff the chicken. Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Lay out your ham slices and place a cheese slice on top of each ham slice. Roll the ham (about 2 slices for each cheese) and the cheese. Stuff each chicken breast with the rolled ham and cheese. Secure the opening with toothpicks.
- Season the chicken. Season both sides of each chicken breast with Award-Winning Chicken Seasoning.
- Grill the chicken. Place the chicken cordon bleu directly on the grill grates and grill for 15-18 minutes per side flipping once while cooking. Remove when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Make the Dijon sauce. Combine all ingredients for the cream sauce in a small bowl. Stir well to mix. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Rest and serve. Remove the chicken cordon bleu from the grill. Rest the chicken for 10 minutes and serve with Dijon cream sauce on the side.
