The ingredient list:

• chicken breast
• sliced ham
• Swiss cheese slices
• mayonnaise
• horseradish sauce
• smoked paprika
• salt and pepper

How to butterfly a chicken breast:

• Lay the breast on a cutting board and place one hand firmly on top of the chicken.
• With a sharp carving or chef's knife, carefully slice into the breast vertically, making sure to gently ease the chicken breast open as the cut gets deeper.
• The hand on top of the chicken is meant to guide you so the slice stays in the center of the breast. Keep your knife as evenly horizontal as possible and use nice even strokes to slice through the meat.
• Make sure NOT to slice completely through the breast. The object is to slice open the breast so it resembles an open book.
• Once the chicken breast is butterflied, you can fill it with your ingredients.

• Slather the inside of the butterflied chicken breast with the horseradish mayo sauce.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay ham slices and Swiss cheese slices on one side of the butterflied chicken breast.
• Fold the other side of the breast over the ham and cheese and slather with more horseradish mayo sauce.

• Tie the chicken cordon bleu breast securely with kitchen twine, or close with toothpicks.
• Place the chicken cordon bleu breasts on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear when pierced or when the temperature reaches 160-degrees on a meat thermometer.

• Remove the chicken cordon bleu from the oven and top the breasts with additional slices of Swiss cheese.
• Return the chicken back into the oven for an additional 7-10 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
• Remove the kitchen twine or toothpicks before eating.

• ENJOY!!
