Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 6 slices ham
- 6 slices swiss cheese
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup water, divided
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- cooked rice
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4" thickness. Season with a pinch each salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Fold cheese so it is about 1/2" narrower than ham. Place cheese on ham and fold in each of the long sides and then roll from one short end, burrito-style. This will help prevent the cheese from running out during the cooking process. Place one ham roll on a narrow end of each piece chicken and roll into a bundle.
- Wrap a piece of bacon lengthwise around each chicken bundle and secure with a toothpick. Ensure the bacon tightly covers the ends of the bundle as it will also help prevent leaky cheese. Place the bundles into slow cooker.
- Combine 1/2 cup water, bouillon and wine. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook 5-6 hours on LOW.
- Just before serving, remove chicken from slow cooker. If needed, strain cooking liquid and return to slow cooker. Switch heat to HIGH. Combine cornstarch with remaining 1/2 cup water. Stir 1/2 cup of slow cooker liquid into the cornstarch mixture to temper and then add that back to slow cooker. Stir well until sauce thickens.
- Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
