Chicken Cordon Bleu & Blueberry Muffins

Decided to be adventurous last weekend and made a western dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu with potato salad on the side. The chicken came out really nice and tender and that was despite substituting some ingredients and skipping the ham.

I marinated the chicken thighs earlier with some oyster sauce, mirin and soy sauce. Rolled up a slice of cheese in the chicken thigh, secured the chicken roll with toothpicks, and coated it with oats (instead of breadcrumbs) and pan-fried it lightly before putting it into the oven at 200 degrees for about 25-30 mins.


My favourite blueberry muffins were a great success this time round! =D Absolutely yummy!
