Cordon Bleu Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour gradually until smooth and all lumps are gone. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened and is bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add Swiss cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese has melted.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a sauce pan.
• Stir in flour and salt.
• Add milk and cheese and stir until melted.
• Pour over cordon bleu and serve.

Steps:

• *Preheat oven to 400.
• *Take the thawed chicken breast and slice in half lengthwise, do not cut it all the way through, leave the pieces connected so that you can fold it over to form a sort of pocket for the ham and cheese filling.
• *Shake the chicken in Shake-and-Bake until fully coated.
• *Lay the chicken flat and place, 1 slice of provolone, about 5 slices of ham and then one more slice of provolone, on one side of the sliced chicken breast.
• *Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the fillings, making sure to get it as tight as possible so that nothing falls out, secure the chicken breast with 3-5 toothpicks.
• *Repeat with the additional chicken breasts.
• *Bake for 20-25 minutes on a buttered baking sheet (glass or metal), so that the chicken breasts don't stick.
• *While the chicken is cooking, get a medium sized pot, pour in the two cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, package of Gorgonzola cheese, flour, garlic and parsley.
• *Stir frequently on medium heat until all the Gorgonzola cheese is melted, cover and simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally until the chicken is done.
• *Pour over the chicken as desired.
• *ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take a piece of chicken and place 2 ounces ham and 1 ounce Gruyere cheese in the middle. Roll up the chicken breast tightly and place toothpicks in the ends and middle. Place the chicken breasts in an oiled baking dish and bake for 18 minutes.
• For the breading: Combine the all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, wheat flour, rice flour, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper, mix well, and place on a large platter.
• For the hollandaise sauce: Gently place 4 egg yolks in a food processor and add a pinch of salt, white pepper, paprika, the lemon juice and hot sauce. Place the warmed clarified butter into the food processor very slowly until it thickens. To thicken the sauce, add an egg yolk and to thin it out add warm water.
• Place the baked chicken cordon bleu in the egg wash and then coat evenly with the breading mixture. Repeat process again.
• Deep-fry the breaded chicken at 325 degrees F for 3 minutes. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the top of the chicken.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and mascarpone. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and continue to heat for an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle the chicken breasts evenly with 1 teaspoon salt. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook on the first side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Lay 1/2 slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Lay 2 slices of ham on top of the cheese on each breast. Divide the mustard sauce evenly over the ham and top with the remaining cheese slices. Broil until the cheese is melted, golden brown and bubbly, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Lay the chicken breasts between pieces of wax paper and use a mallet to pound them to 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch thick. Take care not to pound holes in the chicken. Layer each breast with the ham, then place a finger of cheese in the center. Roll up to completely enclose the ham and cheese and secure with toothpicks.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg and coat with bread crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter. Add the chicken and cook, turning carefully with tongs, until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the stock to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Move the chicken to a warm platter.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of stock to the skillet, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring up browned bits clinging to the bottom, for 1 minute. Add the wine (or heavy cream or additional stock), lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the consistency of gravy, about 45 seconds. Pour over the chicken breasts and serve.

Steps:

• One: Wash the chicken and pat dry. Place the chicken breasts skinned side up on a sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Cover them with a second sheet of paper or wrap and, with a flat (not textured) wooden mallet, lightly beat them until flattened to a uniform thinness of less than 1/4 inch. Set aside.
• Two: Cut the ham and cheese into thin slices 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long. Break the egg into a shallow bowl and beat until smooth. Spread the crumbs on a second shallow bowl. Spread the flour on a dinner plate.
• Three: Lay the chicken pieces on a flat work surface skinned side down. Lightly spread the inside of each breast with a little mustard (don't use too much or the mustard will overpower the other flavors). Stack 2 slices of cheese and a slice of ham (2 if they are very thin) in the center of each breast. Fold over the small side of the breast, then fold each end up, like an envelope, and finally fold over the large side. Make sure that the filling is completely encased. Roll the chicken first in the flour, shake off the excess, and dip each breast in the egg, allowing the excess to flow back into the bowl. Lay it in the crumbs. Roll it carefully so that it doesn't open up (crumbs should not get inside the folds or they won't stay closed when it cooks), patting the crumbs into all sides. When the piece is coated, lay it on a clean, dry plate and repeat until all the pieces are breaded. Set aside for at least half an hour to allow the breading to set. (You may make them several hours or even a day ahead up to this point. Cover and refrigerate, but take them out at least half an hour before cooking.)
• Four: Fill a deep Dutch oven, or a deep-fat fryer with enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides, at least 2 inches deep. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 375°F (hot but not smoking). Add the chicken and fry until golden brown, maintaining a temperature of 365°F, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Five: Drain well and serve at once.
