Megans Chicken Cordon Bleu
- 5 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 5 slices Prosciutto
- 5 pieces Swiss Cheese, (I Like To Just Take A Block And Cut 1/2 Inch Pieces Off The Short End)
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 4 whole Crimini Mushrooms
- 3/4 cups White Wine
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced And Crushed
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 whole Lemon, Juiced
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rinse and dry the chicken, then carefully cut a slit in the thicker end of each breast you are making a pocket that you are going to stuff the prosciutto and cheese into so make it as long and wide as you can without cutting through.
- Once you have cut a slit in each breast, wrap a piece of cheese in a piece of prosciutto and carefully stuff it inside the pocket of a chicken breast.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients until all the breasts have been stuffed.
- Next heat a cast iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet) to medium high with the olive oil in it.
- Combine the whole wheat flour, salt and pepper on a plate and coat each of the breasts in it, shaking off the excess and then place the chicken into the hot skillet.
- Brown both sides of the chicken.
- Then, once browned place the skillet in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is in the oven make the sauce.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the mushrooms once the butter is melted and cook just for about a minute.
- Add the wine and the garlic and simmer until the wine is reduced just a little, about 6-7 minutes.
- Then add the cream and simmer until the sauce is thick and bubbly, about 7-8 more minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and the salt and continue cooking just a couple more minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven.
- To serve, place one breast on each plate and top with about 1/4 cup of the sauce on each.
- Enjoy!!
