BROILED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU 
2 bones skinless chicken breast halves or turkey breast tenderloins (about 8 oz. total)
1 tbsp. soft or whipped butter
2 slices process Swiss cheese (2 oz.)
Coarse grain brown mustard or Dijon style mustard
2 thin slices fully cooked ham or Canadian style bacon
Paprika
Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Parsley sprigs (optional)

Preheat broiler. Meanwhile, place poultry on the unheated rack of the broiler pan. Brush with half of the butter.

Broil 4 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Turn poultry over and brush with remaining butter. Broil for 4-5 minutes more or until tender. Meanwhile, cut cheese slices in half.

Brush tops of poultry with mustard. Place 1/2 slice of cheese on top of each piece of poultry, then top with the ham or bacon. (If necessary, cut ham slice to fit poultry.) Broil about 30 seconds or until ham is warm. Then top with remaining cheese. Broil for 1/2 to 1 minute more or until cheese is melted. To serve, transfer to dinner plates. Sprinkle with paprika. If desired, garnish with tomatoes and parsley. Makes 2 servings.
