Inside out cordon bleu chicken with a twist Recipe erandall
- 1 Chicken Breast per person
- 1-2 thin slices of good quality ham
- 1-2 slices of swiss cheese
- pepper and salt to taste
- a drizzle of oil for the pan
- 1/2 cup of Mayonaise
- 1 Tablespoon of Honey
- 1 Tablespoon of American mustard
- First, make the sauce by combining the mayonaise, mustard and honey.
- You could just use mayonaise and a premade honey mustard if you prefer.
- Season the chicken breast with pepper and salt to taste, add the oil to the pan and pan fry the chicken breast.
- Depending on the size it should take around 4-5 minutes each side.
- I often butterfly the breast (by slicing almost all the way through laterally and opening them up).
- With large breasts you can slice all the way through and 1 will serve two peopledepending on the appetite- this also helps to cook more evenly and quickly.
- Pre-heat a grill/broiler/salamander (depending on your country)not the barbeque, but the overhead gas of coil element in you oven.
- Place the chicken breasts on an oven tray.
- Top with the slices of ham and then the swiss cheese.
- Place under the grill/broiler/salamander to melt the cheese.
- Its best if it doesnt melt to the point where it bubbles.
- Serve with salad or vegetables.
- With the Honey Mustard sauce on the side, of course.
