CHICKEN CORDON BLEU PLATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, chives, parsley, thyme and some salt and pepper.
• Gently loosen the skin from the chicken with your fingers. Rub 1 tablespoon of the herb butter between the meat and the skin on each piece of chicken. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Add the oil to a pan set over high heat. Carefully place the chicken skin-side down and cook, without touching, until the skin turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet skin-side up, and bake for 15 minutes.
• Place one slice of bread on each plate and spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of the remaining herb butter. Place the tasso ham over the butter and top each with a piece of chicken. Generously ladle The Morning After Red Eye Gravy over the chicken and sprinkle with scallions to serve.
• In a saucepot set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Add the flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring continuously, until the roux is a rich caramel color and smells nutty, 5 minutes. Add the stock and coffee, and stir. Add the paprika, black pepper and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Finish with the cream and season with salt.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH DIJON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it down the center, lengthwise, leaving about 1 inch of connective tissue at the other end. Spread open like a book, and rub each down with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let rest for 30 minutes to absorb salt.
• Cover each breast with plastic wrap and pound thin with a meat mallet until roughly doubled in surface area. Using a very sharp knife or meat slicer, cut the ham steak into very thin slices.
• Spread 1/4 cup Gruyere over each chicken breast, then divide 1/4 of the ham between them. Repeat, making 2 layers. Fold the chicken over like an omelet, enclosing the cheese and ham. Secure the open edges with 4 to 5 toothpicks.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a second bowl. Carefully dredge each chicken breast in flour, coat with egg wash, then dredge in the breading. Transfer to a wire rack and move to freezer for 20 minutes to help the breading adhere to the meat.
• Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Place chicken in a baking dish.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush each side down with melted butter and flip. Bake for 25 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour milk into a saucepan set over low heat and simmer until steaming, about 10 minutes.
• Melt butter and stir in flour to create a roux. Let the roux cook to burn off the flour taste, stirring constantly, 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in hot milk, letting the sauce come together before adding more milk, until everything is well incorporated. The sauce will still be a little thin. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring constantly until cheese in melted evenly into the sauce. Stir in Dijon mustard. Simmer sauce until it is at least thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove chicken from oven and transfer to plates. Remove toothpicks. Ladle sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
