Traditional Cordon Bleu is baked in the oven with individual breasts stuffed and breaded. This modification of the recipe is great for summer grilling. Its filling but still has a light and refreshing taste for summer dinners.
The Dijon Cream Sauce would work for a number of grilled chicken dishes.
Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu with Dijon Cream Sauce
Take a traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu and make it on the grill.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 Chicken Breasts of Reasonable Size
- 4 slices Ham I like from the Bone or Black Forest
- 4 slices Swiss Cheese Long Slices
- 4 Tbsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning Or other grilled chicken seasoning
- cooking twine
Dijon Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinigar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp Paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Pre-heat Grill to with medium high heat
-
Take each chicken breast cover with plastic wrap and pound until thin. The plastic wrap keeps chicken juice from flying around. Pound until flat enough to roll easily.
-
Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Lay down some plastic wrap and lay two breasts slightly overlapping on the plastic wrap.
-
Place two slices of swiss cheese then two slices of ham across the chicken breasts.
-
Now use the plastic wrap to roll the chicken into a log.
-
Repeat for other two breasts.
-
Prepare a pan or dish and laydown 3-4 lengths of twine. Line bottom of the dish/pan with Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Place the chicken rolls on the twine and tie. Now roll the chicken breasts logs through the seasoning to get evenly coated on all sides.
-
Place chicken on grill and cook until the chicken is cooked at 165 degrees. Roll the chicken every several minutes to cook evenly throughout. While the chicken is cooking through all of the Dijon sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix, keep cool until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
Traditional Cordon Bleu is breaded and baked in the over each breast having been stuffed individually. This recipe works on the grill by creating a roulade (roll) of chicken and using chicken grilling seasoning on the outside.
The sauce helps balance the dish.
