Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu

I love making Chicken Cordon Bleu which I usually bread, roll and bake. But I wanted something quick with the same ingredients and came up with this – lazy chicken cordon bleu made all in one skillet. This is great with roasted veggies or you can serve this with rice pilaf.

Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu

PREP TIME: 10 mins

COOK TIME: 15 mins

TOTAL TIME: 25 mins

YIELD: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 2/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 thin slices low sodium deli ham, I use Boar’s Head (3 oz total)
• 4 slices light Swiss Cheese such as Alpine Lace, 3 oz total
• chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• * All purpose gluten-free flour works well here.
• 4 thin boneless, skinless cutlets, 4 oz each
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour*
• 1/2 teaspoon butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge the chicken with flour on both sides, shaking off the excess reserving the flour.
3. In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of the reserved flour, whisk until smooth.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and half of the chicken.
5. Cook 2 minutes on each side, until slightly golden, then transfer to a dish.
6. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and remaining chicken and cook 2 minutes on each side.
7. Set aside on a dish with the other pieces of chicken.
8. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the chicken broth mixture. Whisk scraping up any bits stuck to the pan then simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
9. Return the chicken to the skillet, top each piece with a slice of ham and a slice of swiss, cover the skillet and simmer medium-low for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts.
10. To serve use a spatula and transfer the chicken to each dish, spoon the remaining sauce over each piece.
