I bought chicken breasts over the weekend, and while sitting at my desk filing like a mad woman, I thought of making chicken cordon bleu on the grill. I did a couple quick google searches on my break, and I found one I liked – although my grilling style was a bit different. I can’t find the blog that I borrowed this from – so if its yours, please let me know! I thought the blog was called “Lime in the Coconut” but I am not finding it! Update: Thanks Kandra for finding the site for me!
She grilled her chicken breasts on foil, which I thought was a good idea, but then thought I wanted to have the grill marks. Since our breasts were so big, I couldn’t actually roll it, so I kind of kept it together with wooden skewers, seared the bottom half, then put the chicken on my top rack to finish cooking – it was perfectly cooked!
Hannah and I split one breast – she doesn’t like Dijon mustard, or any mustard for that matter – where did I go wrong with this child! So Tony’s half got the shmere of mustard.
Best Dijon mustard in my book:
Next went the ham and cheese, two slices of each:
Then I flipped, rubbed with a touch of olive oil and seasoned with Italian seasoning and garlic salt:
I kept the cheese on the top so it would melt, but not drain into the grill – the ham got nice and crispy too!
I did grilled zucchini with goat cheese as our side dish – I heart goat cheese!
While everything was grillin – I got a magazine in the mail today! I love this one – already flagged a couple recipes to try right off the bat!
Here’s how it looks off the grill – the cheese and ham stayed contained. My plate – I ended up eating about 2/3 of this piece because I was full – the dog got the rest!
I used my remote meat thermometer – I rarely overcook meat since using it!
I have no idea how many calories my dinner was, but I had about 600 to spend, so I am calling it a day. I got a ton done at work today – my desk is neat again – it looked like a tornado went through it when I walked in this morning!
Off to snuggle with Tony – the White Sox are playing!
See you tomorrow! 😀
That chicken looks fantastic!!! I am going to try that soon…thanks for the inspiration!
That chicken looks awesome! And I just tried goat’s cheese for the first time this weekend and I’m not sure what I think of it! A slightly different flavour than what I’m used to.
Oh. My. God. That looks delicious. I’m putting it on my roster.
So, you don’t flip it?? Just cook it on the bottom??
It looks amazing!
Put that remote thermometer on my Christmas list or for our birthday next year!!
That looks perfect, the chicken looks so juicy and flavorful!
I use a Weight Watchers recipe for Cordon Bleu that’s always gone over well. I am going to try yours with the grilling as it looks scumptious. I love the side – zucchini with goat cheese. nicely done!
Looks great, as always!
That does not look like diet food!
i so wish i liked goat cheese, but the cordon blue looks awesome!
I think i’ve only had the premade frozen ones, yours looks amazing as usual!!! Haha and funny that Hannah doesn’t even like mustard!
Your creations always looks scrumptious.
Wow… does that ever look good!
THAT LOOKS FREAKING FANTASTIC!!! I haven’t had chicken cordon bleu since I started my diet and stopped buying those Barber frozen ones – this looks so much better!!!
OMG! I HAVE GOT TO TRY that recipe! Looks delish!
Do you just buy “goat cheese” or is it called something else? I haven’t tried it before and am curious…
Found the site for you too! http://limeincoconut.blogspot.com/2009/05/grilled-chicken-cordon-bleu-with.html 🙂

Very pretty cordons. I haven’t had a cordon bleu in ages.
