Chicken Cordon Bleu

Posted by myleen at 9:06 AM

this was my second experiment and it was a hit! i don't have photos to prove it but my hubby can attest that it was a success. though he rarely eats left-overs, this one kahit left-over na, he ate pa rin with gusto. hmm. masarap talaga ang luto ko, that's why. hihi. hindi sila nalason. =)

ingredients:

6 pieces chicken breasts
cheddar cheese slices
bacon or ham
bread crumbs
butter
olive oil
chicken bouillon cube
water
whipping cream
cornflour


procedure:

1. cut the chicken breasts in half and nicely put the cheese and bacon/ham inside.
2. coat with breadcrumbs and secure with a toothpick.
3. fry the coated chicken breasts in a mixture of butter and olive oil. mixture siya dapat kasi kung pure butter, madaling masunog. you wouldn't want a sauce na lasang sunog, right?
4. when the two sides are browned already, put the water with chicken bouillon cube and let the chicken simmer for 30 minutes. ang purpose nito ay para maluto yung insides nung chicken.
5. when you think the chicken's fully cooked inside and out, take the toothpick out and arrange the chicken in a serving platter.
6. whip the cornflour into the cream and then put in the skillet where you had the water/sauce left from the simmer.
7. simmer again while stirring until the sauce thickens.
8. when done, spread to the chicken breasts. ang sauce ang magdadala sa cordon bleu.

happy eating! =)
