How to Make Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu

  1. Pat 2 (6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom (deglaze).
  5. Stir in 1 cup cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss), and 4 oz thinly sliced deli ham, cut into small pieces.
  6. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Serve immediately over hot cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
