Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu
Serves 4
4 Chicken Breast Halves
1/4 pound Bacon
1 large Onion
8 oz Blue Cheese
½ pound of Mushrooms
Raspberry Vinaigrette (for marinating)
¼ Cup chopped garlic
Salt & Pepper
Parmesan Cheese

Clean chicken breast of any excess fat, using a meat tenderizer pound out chicken
until it is all one thickness. Season chicken (front and back sides) with salt
and pepper and place in a size appropriate container. Cover with raspberry vinaigrette
and garlic and marinate for 2 to 4 hours. Turn often during marinating to insure
chicken is coated with marinade.
After marinating, remove chicken from marinade and lay out flat. Sprinkle layer
of Bleu Cheese on top and season with pepper. Slowly roll up chicken and secure
with a toothpick. Wrap a piece of bacon around chicken, secure again with toothpick.
Continue to roll all chicken breasts in the same fashion.
On a sheet of aluminum foil, spread out chopped onions & mushrooms, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and drizzle with raspberry vinaigrette, place 4 chicken
bundles on top, drizzle with more dressing, cover with another piece of foil
and crimp edges to seal package.
Place on grill and occasionally turn for the next 25-30 minutes, or until done.
At this point, open the package and sprinkle chicken with parmesan cheese and
serve.
