Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu
From: Vered @ healthyrecipesblogs.com/2017/05/23/easy-chicken-cordon-bleu/
The classic chicken cordon bleu is excellent, but a bit too involved for a lazy cook like myself. So I decided to simplify things by baking the chicken breasts as I normally do, then topping them with Dijon mustard, ham and cheese, and returning to the hot oven for just a few seconds, until the cheese melts. We loved the result! Easy enough to make on a weeknight, adult-and-kid-friendly, and very tasty.
Cool time: 10 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
4 large (8 oz each) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 thin slices ham
4 thin slices swiss cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Line a baking dish with foil.
Brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and dried thyme.
Bake, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes on each side, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165 degrees F.
Spread the top of each chicken breast with Dijon mustard; top with a slice of ham (fold in two if necessary) and a slice of cheese.
Return to the hot oven for just a few seconds, until the cheese melts.
Remove to a plate, allow to rest 2 minutes, then serve.
