Bacon Wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of ham (ask your deli to slice them on #4)
  • 4 (1.5 oz, roughly) pieces of Swiss cheese
  • 16 slices of bacon
  • BBQ Marinade
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, like you would a burger bun. One at a time, place the breasts inside a gallon zip top bag, and pound the breast out (flat side of mallet) to 1/8”-1/4” thickness. Place the flattened breast halves in a zip top bag and cover them with the BBQ Marinade. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator one hour.
  2. Remove breasts from marinade. Preheat your grill. One by one, lay out each breast and salt & pepper to taste. Cover the breast with a slice of ham, then place the piece of cheese near the end closest to you. Roll the meats around the cheese, away from you. Lay out three slices of bacon vertically, and one horizontally, on top and near one end of the vertical slices. Place the rolled chicken on top of the horizontal strip and roll to wrap the chicken, tucking the  horizontal slice of bacon around the chicken as well.
  3. Place each one, seam side down, directly on the grates of your cooker. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, turning frequently.
