Recipe: Chicken Cordon Bleu Plate Special

What's tastier than a French-inspired meal?  One that you can whip up in 20 minutes and that fits nicely on a bun, thank you very much!

Ingredients:


2 chicken breast halves
2 T butter (not margarine)
1/2 c. flour
4-6 thin slices deli-style ham
2 thin slices Swiss cheese

1 T Dijon mustard (if desired)
2 whole-grain hoagie rolls 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Lightly pound chicken breasts to flatten.  Dredge the pieces in the flour.  Once the butter has melted, gently place the meat in the pan to cook.  Turn only once, after about 5 minutes.  Cook until heated through, about 8-9 minutes.  Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove from skillet and drain on paper towel.  Split open the hoagie rolls and place the chicken inside.  Top with the ham and Swiss cheese.  Broil until the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.  Spread mustard on top of cheese, if using.  Makes 2 sandwiches.
