Call me *Chef P*

We are trying to eat at home more often and I have been wanting to try some new things in the kitchen. I made the following and I must say that they were both delish (should have snapped a picture). This is the first time I have ever made either dish…

 Chicken Cordon-Bleu the easy way

• 4 thinly sliced chicken breast half’s
• 6 slices of Swiss cheese
• 4 slices of cooked ham (I found it in the deli isle)
• Seasoned bread crumbs
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 4 toothpicks

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the chicken with salt & pepper. Lay a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham on the chicken breast and roll it. Secure it with a tooth-pick. Place rolled chicken in a Pyrex dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and place in oven for 30-35 minutes (or until no longer pink). Remove chicken from the oven and place half a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of chicken and return to oven until cheese is melted. Remove and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting through it. DELISH!!!

I served it with pan grilled/seared asparaugus tossed (he he I said tossed) in olive oil.

 Chicken Salad

Not my photo - but it looked almost just like it

• 4 cups of cubed cooked chicken
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup dried cranberries (I used orange flavored craisens)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 cup chopped celery (I did not use any – because I have a hate/hate relationship with celery)
• 1 cup chopped pecans (or nut of your choice)
• ½ teaspoon of garlic salt
• Ground black pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise with paprika and garlic salt. Blend in dried cranberries, celery, onion, and nuts. Add chopped chicken, and mix well. Season with black pepper to taste. Chill 1 hour or more.

I served it over whole wheat oat and nut bread of some sorts. It was really good!
