Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken tenders or 2 breasts butterflied
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt

  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella or any other cheese you want
  • 1 rounded tbsp. butter
  • 3/4 cup white wine or chicken stock or water
  • 1 rounded tbsp. dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • Get the oven going at 350F and put a pan on the stove at medium high with a tbsp. (eyeball it) of olive oil. Defrost the tenders in the microwave. Season the up side with salt, black pepper and garlic salt. Place them in the pan seasoned side down and season the new up side. About 4-5 minutes a side depending on the size and your stove. When they are firm to the poke and/or clear liquid runs out remove them to individual casserole dishes or an oven pan that will handle it all .Top them off with the ham or prosciutto and some cheese.Tonight we used fresh mozzarella because thats what we had on hand . We usually use provolone or swiss. Whatever you like will work.
  • Add about 1 tbsp. of butter, a dash of salt and pepper, a big pinch of dried parsley flakes and 3/4 cup white wine or chicken stock to the pan. Stir with a wooden spoon and get all the bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer and reduce to about 1/3.
  • Pour the sauce over the cordon bleu, top them off with a little grated parmesan and put them in the oven.
  • Your Chicken Cordon Bleu ready to go! Enjoy! With a little salad and some of poppop's home made bread and some wine. Life is good.
