Chicken Cordon Bleu

INGREDIENTS

3

double chicken breasts (about 7-ounces each), skinless and boneless

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp

Dijon mustard

6

thin slices deli ham

4

large slices (Baby) Swiss* cheese 

Many recipes call for Gruyere cheese, but since it's around $16 a package, I had to go with Swiss!

2 tsp

fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup

flour

1 cup

Panko bread crumbs 

1 tsp

olive oil

2

eggs

2 tsp

water

6 tbsp

butter

1/2 cup

dry white wine

1 tsp

chicken bouillon granules

1 tsp

cornstarch

1 cup

heavy whipping cream

Careful about the amount of salt you add.  The ham and cheese both have a lot of salt already.

Choose side dishes that are NOT rich.  You actually want something with some acid in it to cleanse your palate in between bites of all this richness. 

This dish could easily be broken into multiple steps.  You could prepare the chicken bundles and freeze or put in the fridge to just pop into the oven after work.  The wine sauce could be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
