MMMM, I am thinking chicken!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

marinated your chicken breast, butterfly them first ( slice in half width wise) marinate in a mix of 1/3 italian dressing, 1/3 water or olive oil, 1/3 sauce mix. Sauce mix is 1/3 sweet chili sauce, 1/3 lime juice, and 1/3 teriaki and a sprinkle of brown sugar) sorry if I just confused the heck out of ya! I tried to make it simple.... LOL! slice some thick provolone, and thicker ham as well. I like the redneck brand ham or cloverdale, but any ham will work. I don't suggest sandwich meat, as it will probably burn on the edges or not tatse as good, it tends to be saltier as well. Marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight would be better :) . Now you will need some tooth picks, stuff chicken breasts with a slive of cheese and one to two slices of ham, fold chicken over and seal meat/cheese into breast , secure with toothpicks. Try to cover all ham and provolone with chicken, sealed as best as possible to prevent leakage. Grill even ly on a med heat grill for about 10 minutes per side, you may need to breakoff toothpicks at surface of chicken to prvent burning, but I don't find the neccesary. If you like a little more flavior, try spreading just a teaspoon of sweet chili sauce directly on ham inside of chicken breast before sealing, it adds just a hint of sweetness and kick) Now your grilling time may vary depending on hickness of chicken. If you are worried about chicken cooking all thway through amd drying out the outside of breastm simple grill, open butterfly side down for 5 minutes or so before stuffing. it might make it harder to seal the ham and cheese in, but will ensure full cooking of chicken breast. My husband discovered this reciped, made them for dinner, and we loved them! Bon appetite!! Sorry if my postings will be few and far between this month, but we are meeting with a birthmother in two days!!!!! So we will be preoccupied for awhile, as she is due in just two weeks! God is so good, and he is finally saying it is our turn to become parents!! So I suppose I will have to post some baby food recipes on here in a few months, lol!!!!! Can't wait to meet our birthmother and let her become a part of our family!!!! Thanks for being a faithful follower of my food blog!! God Bless! Heather
