Beautiful Stuffed Breasts

On January 02, 2006 in Different Dinner Project

In looking for side dishes for Chicken Cordon Bleu I've discovered that the French have quite the penchant for canned mushrooms. I decided to try a classic French-Style Green Bean accompaniment and some simple Roasted Rosemary Baby Potatoes. Shannon usually avoids a green bean and mushroom side dish like the plague, but this simple, tender version helped her finish all her vegetables! You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that doesn't enjoy a simple roasted potato recipe. This is a classic no matter where in the Western hemisphere you happen to find yourself.

Since the chicken must be flattened and rolled, it's probably a good idea to avoid misshapen breasts. I also think that calling this dish "beautiful stuffed breasts" would help to satisfy the appetite of any heterosexual man who had this plate put in front of him. I prefer Provolone to Swiss cheese in chicken cordon bleu, but I find it odd that neither of these cheeses are French and were always the recommended choices in the recipes I've seen. This is somewhat unfortunate as I could see this recipe be equally tasty stuffed with brie, but I suppose equally tasty does not justify a larger ding in the pocketbook.
