Savvy with Abbie

This past weekend was full of BBQ, cheesecake, amazing family, and amazing memories. Every once in awhile I have to step out of my "diet" and just enjoy some delicious food. Last night I finally did some cooking and made a delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe. The original recipe that I found  HERE used coconut shreds in replace of breadcrumbs. My family is not big on coconut shreds so I stuck with breadcrumbs but that is an option to change out. Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast pepper jack cheese (as much as you would like), shredded 4 pieces of ham 4 slices of mozzarella 1 egg 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or shredded coconut) 3/4 teaspoon oregano pepper, to taste Directions Wash chicken and pat dry. Make an incision in the side of the chicken without cutting it in half. Open fillet and season with pepper and oregano. Lay 1 slice of ham, shredded pepperjack cheese and one piece of mozzarella cheese on one piece of chicken. Fold the edge over. In

Last night we made Chicken Cordon Bleu with the delicious dijon mustard sauce. I was full only eating half of one but was impressed with how they turned out. This recipe called for a lot of ingredients and took a little bit longer than I thought it would to make but I enjoyed it. I actually shortened this recipe  HERE  because it seemed way too long to me. The shortened version is below. Ingredients: 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast salt pepper 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 9 slices of Mozzarella Cheese slices 6 slices of ham, thinly sliced 1 cup flour 4 eggs, beaten 2 cups breadcrumbs Ingredients for the Dijon Sauce: 3 tablespoons butter garlic powder 3 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk 1/4 cup dijon mustard 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded salt pepper Directions: Lay out three pieces of chicken breast on a cutting board. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Slice the chicken breast almost all the way
