Chicken Cordon Bleu ~ Gluten Free

7/1/2015

Recipe

This has been a favorite of mine for many years. Tweaking it to make the sauce tasty yummy without gluten has been a challenge. But I've perfected it and nobody can tell that it's GF! This is a recipe my sister requests whenever we are together! Pair with GF Risotto.

Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 stick butter, melted
• GF deli h am, sliced
• Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
• 1 can GF cream of chicken soup (I use Health Valley from HyVee)
• ½ cup hellman's mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 Tbsp Better than bouillon Chicken base
• GF breadcrumbs, seasoned if desired

Instructions

Pound the chicken breasts. Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each breast ; roll breasts up and secure with a toothpick. Coat each breast with butter and roll in breadcrumbs. Cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours(you can cook immediately if you didn't plan ahead). Remove from frig 15 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle breasts with parmesan cheese and bake for 30 minutes.



Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Heat soup on stove and thicken with 1-2 tsp cornstarch. Stir in mayo, sour cream, egg yolk, chicken base and remaining parmesan cheese. Cook ingredients on low heat and stir occasionally. Pour ½ of the sauce over the chicken after baking for 30 minutes. Return to oven and bake an additional 15 minutes. Serve remaining sauce with chicken.
