5 star cooking, on a budget!

Here's a great recipe for a restaurent favourite, Chicken Cordon Bleu!

This meal typically goes for close to $20 if not more at a restaurant, but what if you could make it at home for only $3.00?

Heres what you will need for a serving of 2:

2 chicken breasts, butterflied

2 slices of swiss cheese, thin

2 pieces of ham, sandwich meat is fine

Method:

1. after the chicken breasts have been butterflied place the piece of ham and slice of swiss cheese inside the breast

2. Brown both sides of the chicken in a frying pan, but do not cook through

3. After the meat is browned place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked. 

Substitutions

-try bacon instead of ham, or if you're feeling risky try both, wrap the bacon over the chicken breast!

-try to change the cheeses up. If swiss is too strong a flavor mozzerella is a good substitute, cheddar works well also. 

What do I pair with this?

I find that this chicken dish is quite rich so I like to pair it with light vegetables. I love this meal with steamed broccoli with a little butter, or sauteed spinach in garlic oil.
