Fergie's Mexi Cordon Bleu

I just went grocery shopping and had all these lovely ingredients and made this wonderful dish.  I know it will be a hit in your home as it was in mine!

For Chicken: 

4 Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless

2-3 Anaheim Chile's, Roasted and Cut into Strips

1/2 Onion, Thinly Sliced

4-5 Garlic Cloves, Minced

1 Cup Fontina Cheese, Shredded

2 Slices of Ham, Thinly sliced

2 Tablespoons Cooking Oil 

Salt and Pepper to Taste

For Rice:

1 Cup Jasmine Rice

2 Cups Water

1 Tablespoon Butter

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Pepper to taste

For Creamy Cilantro Sauce:

1/4 Cup Milk

1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Tablespoon Cilantro

1 Garlic Clove

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Optional:

4 Poached Eggs

Char the chile's... 

Make sure they are nice and black all the way around... 

Place in a zip lock bag to steam.... After about 30 minutes wash off the burn and cut steams and seeds off...

In a saucepan combine all of the rice ingredients, bring to a boil, cover and then reduce heat and simmer until all the water in absorbs... leave covered, remove from heat and set aside. 

This is my fav chicken... 

Wash your chicken really well...

Cut a Pocket in the chicken breast... 

Do not cut all the way through 

Fontina is an amazing cheese, melts gooey and delicious!

This is what your rice should look like... 

Generously salt and pepper the inside of the chicken breast... 

Heat oil and sauté the onions, green chiles, and garlic until the onions are translucent... 

Stuff the breast with 1/4 of the mixture... 

Add the ham and the cheese... 

Use toothpicks to seal the edges of the chicken so the stuffing does not ooze out... 

Heat some oil in a heavy pot and place the chicken... 

Cook at least 8 minutes on each side to make sure you fully cooked them... 

I made the sauce by blending all the ingredients in a cup with a hand blender until smooth... 

Slice the chicken breast in half for plating... 

Spray a ramekin with Pam... 

Pack it with rice...

Flip the rice over on the plate....

You can top with a nice poached egg...  Gently pour the cream sauce over rice and chicken...
