Ingredients
Chicken:
- 4 Thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 oz shaved ham
- 1 cup grated Swiss Cheese
Marinade:
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp gluten free Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
Drizzle:
- 2 tbsp gluten free Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Whisk the olive oil, mustard, and honey together to make the marinade.
- Rinse the chicken breasts with water and place them in a bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat each breast completely. Let it sit for 2 or more hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish, and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the mustard and honey drizzle. Set aside for now.
- Remove the dish from the oven, and drain the liquid from the dish. You can siphon it out with a turkey baster or take the chicken out of the dish, pour off the excess liquid, and return the chicken to the baking dish.
- Brush a small amount of the drizzle over each chicken breast.
- Arrange the shaved ham over each individual chicken breast, using ¼ of the ham on each chicken breast.
- Return the dish to the oven to bake for 7 more minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven, and sprinkle ¼ cup of the grated Swiss cheese over each chicken breast topped with ham.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for 2-3 more minutes, just to melt the cheese.
- Remove the dish from the oven, and place the chicken on a serving platter or directly on your plate.
- Pour in a zig-zag motion ¼ of the remaining drizzle over each plated chicken breast, and eat! Bon Appétit!
Notes
- To store Healthy Chicken Cordon Bleu, place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked chicken for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat in the microwave.
