Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwiches

 

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp. garlic salt

2 T. olive oil

12 slices Texas toast

6 T. mayonnaise

12 slices mozzarella cheese

½ lb thinly sliced honey ham

6 T. butter, softened

 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pound chicken to an even thickness in a zip-top plastic bag using the heel of your hand or a meat mallet. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Cook chicken in hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes per side or until done. Let stand 5 minutes; slice. Spread mayonnaise over one side of each bread slice. Top each with 1 slice cheese. Arrange chicken and ham over half of bread slices; cover with remaining bread slices, cheese side down. Spread butter over outsides of sandwiches. Place sandwiches on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
