CHICKEN CORDON BLEU


Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients:
(Serves 2)
2 Chicken Breast Fillets
10ml Dijon Mustard
50g Cheddar/Gouda/Mozzarella Cheese
2 Sliced Ham
1 disk Feta 
1 Clove Garlic (diced)
15ml Olive Oil 
30ml Herbs (various)

Preheat the oven to 180C.
Put chicken fillets into a plastic bag and hit it with a tenderizing mallet until flattened

Make sure its about 1cm thick and even

Spreade with Dijon Mustard (the small pieces came off the larger ones, so I do them as well)

Sprinkle with cheese

Add the ham on top

Add the feta and garlic

Roll up and fasten with toothpicks, just make sure that nothing is falling out and your good. It does not have to look pretty.

Place the olive oil and the herbs or your choice in a bowl and mix till it forms a paste like mixture. I used mixed herbs, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil & parsley. You can also add paprika.


Place on a foil lined baking tray flesh side up. Spread with the herb mix and top with the rest of your garlic. Bake for approximately 30-45min. (sometimes it takes 20min, it all depends on the thickness of your chicken). Just cut it open and check it if your not sure.

Serve with chips or salad.
