Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken breast, boneless, skinless (4 halves)
• 2 tbsp gluten free all purpose flour, organic
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp mustard seed, yellow
• 4 slices ham, 5% fat, organic (optional)

4. Cut each slice of cheese in half and place half a slice on each slice of ham.
5. Fold each ham slice over the cheese to form a packet that is about half as big as the piece of chicken.
6. Place a packet on top of each breast. If making without ham, place cheese slices directly on top of chicken breast.
7. Fold the breast in half over the packet.
8. Use a wooden toothpick or small metal skewer to secure each breast.
9. On a medium plate, mix GF flour, mustard powder, and paprika.
