This is another dish that I just stumbled upon. Those seem to be the best don’t they. The recipes that you think, “I could make this Paleo…I think. Well it can’t be that bad right!?!” I am very happy with this version of Chicken Cordon Bleu. There is no cheese but it isn’t missing it. It is also very easy to prepare other then the handling of the raw chicken. Have I ever mentioned on here that I am not a fan of raw meat. Good thing I like cooked meat enough to make it seem worth while.
Recipe: Paleo Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts
- 12 pieces of thinly sliced ham
- 12 asparagus stalks (24 if really thin)
- Coconut oil

Instructions
- Filet open each chicken breast making sure not to cut all the way in half.
- Wrap two asparagus in two pieces of ham while placing approx a teaspoon of coconut oil inside each roll.
