ITALIAN HAM-AND-CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
This is a VERY EASY dish to make, I promise. Very elegant dish, as well, and with only about 250 calories per serving. I HIGHLY recommend using good quality prosciutto and Muenster for this. For novice cooks, if you freeze the chicken breasts for a bit before slicing them, they are MUCH easier to slice.

Steps:
- Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
- Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
- Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
- Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
- Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8-inch thick and toss with the oil, salt and pepper. Carefully spread the slices on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until golden and crispy, turning with a metal spatula occasionally and spreading them out to cook evenly, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

SUNNY'S HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS (CHICKEN CORDON BLEU)
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix the ham and cheese. Gently slice a lengthwise pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff each breast with the ham and cheese mixture and secure with a skewer or a few toothpicks.
- In a medium shallow bowl, add the flour and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. In a second medium shallow bowl, add the mustard, paprika, eggs, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and whisk to combine. In the third medium shallow bowl, add the panko. Run each piece of chicken through these bowls in the order of setting them up: flour, egg then panko.
- In a large straight-sided pan, add enough oil to just cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch. Heat on medium high and when the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken in batches, placing each piece in the oil away from you so there is less splatter. Add more oil between batches if needed. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt and a tiny spritz of lemon.

Steps:
- Butterfly and stuff chicken breasts:
- If tenders are attached to undersides of breast halves, remove white tendons from tenders with a small sharp knife. Working with 1 at a time, butterfly breast halves: Lay each breast half, skinned side up, lengthwise on a cutting board. Holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface and beginning on a long side, cut breast almost in half horizontally (not all the way through), then open it like a book.
- Cover opened breast halves with a piece of plastic wrap and gently pound each to an even 1/2-inch thickness with a meat pounder or rolling pin. Remove plastic wrap and cover each opened breast half with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese, tucking in any protruding ends. Brush edge of chicken with some egg, reserving remainder, then fold each breast in half to enclose ham and cheese.
- Cook chicken and make sauce:
- Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. While butter is heating, quickly brush more egg onto seam of each breast again, then dredge breasts in flour, shaking off excess. Sauté chicken, turning over once, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
- Add remaining tablespoon butter to skillet, then sauté mushrooms and shallot, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until wine is reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, about 6 minutes. Stir in any chicken juices accumulated on plate and season sauce with salt and pepper.
- Serve chicken topped with sauce.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SAUCE
This is a much altered version of a recipe I found online a few years ago. I simplified it and it actually tastes better than the more difficult version. My family loves this recipe. My husband literally drinks the sauce. These are great for 4 or for 24. Very easy to scale up for large dinner parties.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- For stuffing boil enough water to soak apricots and cranberries. Let soak for 15 minutes. Let apricots cool slightly and cut into small pieces and add to bowl with tomatoes and feta cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Using sharp knife, cut horizontal slit 3/4 way through each chicken breast. Open like a book and place on a cooking sheet. I use a cooking stone sheet with great results. Place a couple of layers of spinach on each inside side of chicken breast. No need to steam first. Place as much of the stuffing mix as you can on one side and close the breast over. I don't use string, but you can if you find it easier. I stuff as much as I can, almost to the point of overstuffing.
- Lightly brush olive oil over breasts. Cover with foil for the first 10 mins of baking and then remove foil for last 30 mins or so. Actual time depends on breast size. I remove from oven when internal temp is 175 degrees. Cover with foil while you complete the sauce. I usually let sit covered for 10 mins or so.
- For sauce melt 1 tbsp butter in sauce pan on medium heat. Add garlic and brown. Add the cider vinegar and boil 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beef stock and reduce temperature slightly and continue to boil until sauce is reduced to desired thickness and taste. About 10-15 mins should do it. You can dilute with additional stock if you boil down too much. Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can play around with sugar and vinegar amounts to get the flavor that is right for you.
- You can serve breast as is or sliced. I prefer whole as I find that it tends to fall apart. Pour sauce over and serve.

Steps:
- To make the stuffing, process the nuts in a food processor or blender until they are finely ground. Add the butter and process until smooth. Add the cream, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne and process until well combined.
- To prepare the chicken breasts, place each breast half between sheets of wax paper and flatten with a mallet, the flat side of a cleaver or a rolling pin to a thickness of about half an inch. Place the breasts smooth side down on a work surface and discard the wax paper. Lay one slice of ham on each breast half. Spread approximately three teaspoons of stuffing on top of the ham. Beginning with the narrowest end of the breast, roll up into a neat, plump shape, tucking the edges in. Secure with toothpicks.
- Strew the onions, carrot and apple in a baking dish large enough so that the rolled breasts fit snugly. Place the breasts on top of the vegetables. In a saucepan, melt four tablespoons of the butter and brush some of it on the breasts. Bake uncovered in the center of a preheated 375-degree oven for 10 minutes. Baste with butter and bake 10 minutes more. Turn the breasts over, baste and bake another 10 minutes. While the chicken cooks, boil the cider and vinegar in a saucepan over high heat until reduced to six tablespoons. Set aside. Transfer the chicken breasts to a warm platter and cover with foil.
- Transfer the onions, carrot, apple and any juices from the baking pan to a food processor. Add the cider reduction and puree until it is smooth. Press through a sieve set over a medium saucepan, reheat over low heat and whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Keep warm.
- To prepare the garnish, heat the butter in a large, heavy skillet. Dredge one side of each apple slice in sugar and place sugared side down in the hot butter. Cook over medium-high heat for four to five minutes or until deep golden brown. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on the apples, turn over and brown the other side.
- Add any juices that have collected from the chicken to the sauce; reheat sauce if necessary. To serve, cut each chicken breast into one-quarter- to one-third-inch slices; discard toothpicks. Divide the sauce evenly among four plates, place slices on top of sauce in an overlapping pattern and garnish with two or three apple slices. Pass remaining sauce separately.
