Recipe by MakeItHealthy I love chicken cordon bleu. When I make this recipe I use lemon juice for wine and a half and half for the cream.

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Remove toothpicks and transfer breast to a warm platter. Blend cornstarch and half-and-half in a small bowl. Whisk slowly into skillet, cooking and stirring until thickened, about 3 minutes. Pour over chicken and serve warm.
