When I started cooking, Chicken Cordon Bleu was all the rage, and it’s one of those dishes that has stood up well to the test of time. This is a lighter, quicker version to make at home. —Todd English
Ingredients:
2 skinned and boned chicken breasts (about 1 1⁄2 lb.)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
4 (0.7-oz.) slices swiss cheese
8 very thin slices pancetta (about 2 oz.)
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler with oven rack 4 inches from heat. Butterfly chicken breasts by making a lengthwise cut in 1 side of each, cutting through the opposite side; unfold. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Cook chicken in hot oil in a large sauté pan 5 minutes on each side or until well browned and done.
3. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet, and spread tops with mustard. Top with Swiss cheese and pancetta. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and pancetta is crisp. Serve immediately.
