Cordon Bleu Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Combine pasta, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and broccoli in a large bowl. Set aside. Blend honey, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, onion, olive oil, sugar, and garlic salt in a blender. Stir in parsley. Stir dressing into the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of dressing. Chill salad and reserved dressing in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Stir in the remaining dressing and Parmesan cheese before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Combine bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon melted butter in a small bowl.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir ham and onion in melted butter until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour has lost its raw smell, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk. Place saucepan back over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat and add 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
• Stir chicken and diced pickle into cheese sauce.
• Place toasted bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush one side of each bread slice with 3/4 teaspoon melted butter. Turn slices over and top each with 1/4 of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded Gruyere cheese over the top of each sandwich. Top with bread crumb mixture.
• Bake sandwiches in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and chicken mixture is hot, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place chicken between plastic wrap and pound until 1/8 thickness.
• Top each piece of chicken with some ham and a slice of swiss cheese. Roll up chicken and secure with a toothpick.
• Mix seasoning salt with crushed cornflakes. Dip chicken in melted butter then roll in cornflakes.
• Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Remove toothpicks and slice chicken on an angle.
• Divide lettuce into 4 servings. Place chicken on top. Top each salad with ranch or your favorite dressing.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients, except the oil.
• Slowly whisk in the oil to incorporate, pour about 2 large tablespoons of the vinaigrette over the steak and mix; refrigerate the rest until needed.
• Heat a medium sauté pan over high/medium-high heat with a little oil in it.
• Add the mushroom slices, season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides.
• Add the steak and sauté until browned.
• Place the European mixed greens on a large plate or bowl, sprinkle the onions over the top, pour the steak and mushrooms in the center, places the mandarin orange sections around the steak and mushrooms, sprinkle with blue cheese and salt and pepper, pour on dressing.
• ENJOY!
