Cordon Bleu is of French origin meaning blue ribbon Ingredients:
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed |
8 slices swiss cheese |
8 slices fully cooked ham |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet into a 12-in. square. Cut into four 6-in. squares. Place a chicken breast in the center of each square; top with cheese and ham.
3. Whisk egg and water; lightly brush over pastry edges. Bring two sides of pastry over chicken, overlapping one over the other; press seams to seal. Pinch together ends and fold under.
4. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; brush tops with egg mixture. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°. Yield: 8 servings.
