Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu

It doesn't really photograph well . . .

I was surprised how much this tasted like the real deal. It was super quick and easy, so try it out. I would give it about 3.75 stars. We served it over rice, but I'm sure it would be good over egg noodles too.







Ingredients

• 1 T butter
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1/4 C chicken broth
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 C shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/2 C diced ham
• 1/2 C Italian cheese blend (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste
• few dashes of garlic powder

Directions

1. Cook chicken in butter over medium-high heat until browned. Remove chicken; set aside.
2. Glaze pan with chicken broth. Add soup, ham, cheese, garlic powder; stir together; heat to boiling, stirring often to avoid burning.
3. Add chicken; stir. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Add salt and pepper if necessary.
4. Serve over rice or egg noodles

Some notes:
I just used sliced deli ham Swiss that I cut up and mixed in. It was cheaper that way. I used 6 slices of Swiss and about 6 slices of ham. The original recipe calls for white wine instead of chicken broth. I didn't have any wine, so the chicken broth worked fine for me. If you have white grape juice, you could substitute that, as well.
