Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu


This was a tasty meal, and my first attempt at making Chicken Cordon Bleu.  It is relatively simple to make, with plenty or recipes available.  I used fresh chicken, and freshly smoked ham from my local butcher; and made a fresh cream of chicken sauce to go on it.  Many recipes call for you to slice open the chicken breast, and place the ham inside with cheese.  I opted to flatten the chicken, and roll the ham and cheese into it.  This dish is normally breaded, but I skipped that step in an attempt to reduce the carbs.  For this meal, I had it with a side of sauteed vegetables.

Have you made this dish before?  If so, how was it?

Butter Chicken

This is another quick weeknight meal.  It was made the easy way with a jar of VH Butter chicken sauce, 2 cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts, as well as a cubed yellow pepper, 3 cloves of minced garlic, as well as 1 onion.  Even when using premade mixes, I like to add flavours to help elevate the sauce to one that gets rid of the high sodium taste that goes along with them. Weeknight meals can always be hard, and sometimes you only have a few min to cook, so this 10 min meal is easy.  I cooked mine in a wok, as the cubed chicken cooks quicker then it would in a frying pan.  We like to have this on rice, as its simple and light. What do you make for quick weeknight meals?

For brunch we decided to keep it light, and just have scrambled eggs and toast. Nothing like a good meal to start the day.  What do you do for a light brunch on Sunday?

On a nice summers night there is no better way to cook than BBQ.  I decided to BBQ some chicken breasts with baked potatoes.  I decided to wash it down with some craft beer. What do you like to have with your BBQ chicken?
