BBQ Chicken Cordon Bleu
The other night produced a dilemma. I had a request for chicken cordon bleu and I also had no desire to go through all the work necessary, the breading and baking .
So I thought why not try to BBQ a chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheese. It came out great .
Long ago I found one little trick to making cordon bleu that’s quite simple. Instead of wrapping the ham and cheese in a butterflied and pounded chicken breast, cut a pocket into the breast and using a piece of very thinly sliced ham that will be large enough to completely envelope the cheese. Wrap it around the cheese and then fold the open ends in so the cheese cannot seep out and insert into the pocket.
Ingredients for BBQ Chicken Cordon Bleu
- 1 Chicken breast per person
- 1 thin slice ham
- 1 wedge swiss cheese
- BBQ sauce
- Chili powder
Directions for BBQ Chicken Cordon Bleu
Take each chicken breast and with a boning knife cut a hole in the thick end of the breast and work the knife around to create a pocket in the breast.
Cut a piece of cheese approximately ½” X ½” X 2″ from a 8 oz wedge of cheese.
Wrap the cheese in the ham and fold over the open ends to create a sealed envelope of ham.
Carefully insert the ham & cheese into the pocket you created in the chicken breast.
Dust all sides of the chicken breast with chili powder and allow to marinate for 1 – 5 hours in the refrigerator.
Just before placing on the grill, brush on, or dip the breast into BBQ sauce and place on the grill on medium heat and cook until done. Times will vary depending on how hot your grill gets.
Brush more sauce on as necessary. Once cooked remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 – 10 minutes, then serve.

Finally a dish I can sink my teeth into. Chicken, Cheese and Ham how can you possibly go wrong with that! 5 paws and keep it coming!
