Super Easy Bacon-wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is a super easy, quick dish to through together and pretend like you've made something really fancy. The creaminess of the cheese and sauce paired with the crispy bacon (and bacon makes everything taste wonderful) will make this dish your new go-to favorite! :-)

Ingredient

1 packages

chicken tenders

1 packages

thin deli sliced ham (or turkey)

1 packages

sliced swiss (or provolone)

1 packages

bacon

4 tbsp

melted butter

4 tbsp

flour

1 tbsp

lemon juice

1 cup

whole milk

1/2 cup

heavy cream

1 tsp

dijon mustard

1/2 tsp

smoked paprika

1/2 tsp

white pepper

1/2 tsp

garlic salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

* Step 2

Use a broiler safe dish to bake & broil the chicken in.

* Step 3

Take 1/2 slice of cheese and place it in center of a slice of ham and wrap in 3rds. Lay along with the chicken tender and wrap with a slice of bacon. Place in dish with ham side up. Continue with as many pieces as you want to make. I made 15 pieces in a 13x11 baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic pepper or seasoning of choice.

* Step 4

Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes.

* Step 5

While chicken is baking, make the sauce.

* Step 6

Begin by mixing the flour with the melted butter and let cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Using a whisk, stir in the lemon juice first. Slowly add in the cream then thin out with the milk. You may not need the entire cup of milk to reach your desired consistency. It needs to be a medium thick but not clumpy and not runny consistency. Stir in the rest of the sauce ingredients.

* Step 7

After baking chicken for 25 minutes, remove the grease with a syringe and turn the oven to broil, also you may want to turn the heat up to 400°F, or slightly higher depending on your oven, to crisp up the bacon for about 10 minutes.

* Step 8

After the bacon is cooked to desired crispiness, pour sauce over each chicken piece and broil again for another 5 minutes or until starting to brown on top. Be careful to watch as you don't want to scorch the sauce. You may need to remove more grease again before adding the sauce.
