Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

6 chicken breast halves
12 pieces Canadian Bacon
6 oz. Gruyere cheese sliced into 8 thin slices
(Don't substitute, the nutty taste of the Gruyere makes this dish.)
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup half and half
1 T olive oil, for browning chicken
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning

Preheat oven to 350. Pound chicken breasts until fairly thin, then rub each one with a pinch of poultry seasoning. Saute chicken in olive oil until nicely browned. Spray glass or crockery baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil. Place chicken breasts in baking dish in single layer. Top each with two pieces of Canadian bacon and then a piece of Gruyere.

Deglaze pan that chicken breasts were browned in with chicken stock, scraping off any browned bits, and let stalk cook until slightly reduced. Add half and half and warm over low heat about 2 minutes. While it warms, cut rest of cheese into tiny pieces. Add cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Pour a little sauce over each chicken breast. (There will not be a lot of sauce.)

Bake about 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and mixture is hot and bubbly. Serve hot.
