Chicken breasts and cordon blu

17 years ago

I posted this a while back about making some quick meals from chicken. Last week, a local supermarket had bones/skinless breasts (the Perdue brand!) for just a $1.88 per pound. Many were very big and thick, but were all half breasts already cut. I partially cut into the thickest part and spread it out flat like a butterfly. Then, I place them in between sheets of plastic wrap and pound on them with a heavy meat pounder. They reach about twice their size, and are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Then, I smear a good amount of spicy Dijon mustard in the center of each. I add a slice or two of my home made Canadian bacon, or lean ham, as well as a slice or two of swiss cheese. Then they get the edges folded over to cover the ham and cheese. Then I coat them with seasoned bread crumbs, or even the Shake and Bake for chicken. Next they get wrapped in plastic wrap and are placed in Food Saver bags and sealed. I usually wrap in plastic as the breading tends ot fall off and gets into everywhere. These cook from the frozen state in about an hour at 400 to 425 degrees. I use my toaster oven, and place a loose piece of foil over the top so it doesn't brown too much. Served with a frozen garden vegetable and your all set for dinner! MUCH cheaper compared to Barber Foods, and you can also make them with broccoli, herbed butter, or any kind of filling you like, like roasted peppers and onions, lots of garlic, etc.
