Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 large thin slices baked ham
• 4 thin slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

1. Butterfly each chicken breast by halving it horizontally, but leaving one side attached, so that it opens into a large thin cutlet.
2. Whisk together the mustard, oil, lemon vinegar and thyme.
3. On a plate coat the chicken with the marinade, stacking the breasts as they are coated.
4. Cover the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
5. Discard the marinade and grill the opened chicken breasts over hot coals for 5 minutes.
6. Turn and top each with a slice of ham and Swiss.
7. Cook another 5 minutes.
