Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Cordon Bleu With A Creamy Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it down the center, lengthwise, leaving about 1 inch of connective tissue at the other end. Spread open like a book, and rub each down with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let rest for 30 minutes to absorb salt.
• Cover each breast with plastic wrap and pound thin with a meat mallet until roughly doubled in surface area. Using a very sharp knife or meat slicer, cut the ham steak into very thin slices.
• Spread 1/4 cup Gruyere over each chicken breast, then divide 1/4 of the ham between them. Repeat, making 2 layers. Fold the chicken over like an omelet, enclosing the cheese and ham. Secure the open edges with 4 to 5 toothpicks.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a second bowl. Carefully dredge each chicken breast in flour, coat with egg wash, then dredge in the breading. Transfer to a wire rack and move to freezer for 20 minutes to help the breading adhere to the meat.
• Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Place chicken in a baking dish.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush each side down with melted butter and flip. Bake for 25 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour milk into a saucepan set over low heat and simmer until steaming, about 10 minutes.
• Melt butter and stir in flour to create a roux. Let the roux cook to burn off the flour taste, stirring constantly, 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in hot milk, letting the sauce come together before adding more milk, until everything is well incorporated. The sauce will still be a little thin. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring constantly until cheese in melted evenly into the sauce. Stir in Dijon mustard. Simmer sauce until it is at least thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove chicken from oven and transfer to plates. Remove toothpicks. Ladle sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Asparagus Stuffed Chicken: Smear 1/2 teaspoon garlic on rough side of each chicken breast.
• Lay 3 spears of asparagus on top of garlic, roll the breast around the asparagus and secure with toothpicks.
• Heat oil in a large flat frying pan at medium-high heat. Brown all sides of the rolled chicken.
• Add wine and chicken broth to pan after all the breasts have browned. Let simmer at medium heat, turning once, until liquid evaporates. Remove toothpicks!
• Hollandaise: Beat egg yolks with a whisk in a small stove top pot (no heat yet). Add lemon juice, dry mustard and Tabasco to yolks. Whisk together to combine.
• Melt butter until liquid, about 10 seconds. Very slowly drizzle the butter into egg yolks while whisking. Now place on medium-low heat.
• Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Heat through while whisking. Remove from heat. Add a little more milk if you want it thinner.
• Serve chicken with Hollandaise sauce drizzled over top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (Ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).
• Remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.
• Mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.
• Fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so I just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).
• Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.
• Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).
• Remove toothpicks before serving!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
• Rinse chicken breasts and dry with paper towel.
• Meanwhile, steam asparagus to tender crisp, about 3 minutes; set aside.
• One at a time place chicken breast halves between pieces of plastic wrap, inside up.
• Pound carefully with a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thickness.
• Remove top pieces of plastic wrap.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken to taste.
• Place 2 prosciutto salami slices, overlapping if necessary to completely cover chicken.
• Place Swiss cheese slices over prosciutto.
• Pat red pepper dry with paper towel and place half a roasted red pepper over cheese.
• Place one asparagus spear near one edge of pepper, roll chicken with layers around the asparagus, using the bottom piece of plastic wrap to help roll it.
• Roll as tightly as possible, use toothpicks to close if necessary.
• Repeat for all 4 breasts.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in large non stick frypan.
• Place chicken roll ups, seam side down in hot frypan, reduce heat and brown on all sides, until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove chicken roll ups and place in 9x13-inch oven proof dish, seam side down; set aside.
• Add wine to hot frypan, deglaze pan, add remaining olive oil and butter to frypan, add basil leaves and salt and pepper to taste to frypan.
• On medium heat, simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon/pour wine/basil reduction onto chicken, be sure to get some basil leaves on each piece.
• Place dish with chicken on middle rack of 350°F degree oven, roast for 25 to 30 minutes until roll ups are heated through and chicken is no longer pink.
• Remove roll ups to platter, let rest for 10 minutes.
• With a sharp knife cut each one into 4 pieces. (Cut thinner slices to use for appetizer.)
• Arrange on platter cut side up, overlapping in 4 rows.
• Spoon/pour juice from oven dish over; garnish with extra asparagus spears and strips of roasted red pepper.
• Serve warm or cold.
