    **Please Note - The printable recipe card with detailed instructions and complete ingredient measurements for making Gluten-Free Chicken Cordon Bleu is available near the end of this post.

    The ingredient list:

    • chicken breast
    • sliced ham
    • Swiss cheese slices
    • mayonnaise
    • horseradish sauce
    • smoked paprika
    • salt and pepper

    How to butterfly a chicken breast:

    • Lay the breast on a cutting board and place one hand firmly on top of the chicken.
    • With a sharp carving or chef's knife, carefully slice into the breast vertically, making sure to gently ease the chicken breast open as the cut gets deeper.
    • The hand on top of the chicken is meant to guide you so the slice stays in the center of the breast. Keep your knife as evenly horizontal as possible and use nice even strokes to slice through the meat.
    • Make sure NOT to slice completely through the breast. The object is to slice open the breast so it resembles an open book.
    • Once the chicken breast is butterflied, you can fill it with your ingredients.

    • Slather the inside of the butterflied chicken breast with the horseradish mayo sauce.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    • Lay ham slices and Swiss cheese slices on one side of the butterflied chicken breast.
    • Fold the other side of the breast over the ham and cheese and slather with more horseradish mayo sauce.
