Here's a quick version of the ever-so-delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu. Everyone loves food on a stick, and you don't need to be a chef to create it.

Ham and Chicken Skewers with Smoked Gouda Sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray; set aside.

Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, stir together eggs and 2 tablespoons milk. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko crumbs, herbs, salt and pepper. Set all three bowls aside.

Cut each ham slice into quarters; set aside. Cut each chicken breast into 1-1/2-inch chunks. Working in batches, coat chicken with flour. Dip in egg mixture; lastly coat with crumb mixture.

Alternately thread crumb-coated chicken and ham onto eight 6-inch-long skewers. Arrange skewers on prepared pan.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter; combine with mustard. Brush onto skewered ham.

Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.

For smoked Gouda sauce, in a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium to medium-high heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons flour until combined. Whisk in 1 cup milk and cream. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Whisk in cheese until smooth. Serve sauce with skewers and steamed green beans.

*Have deli cut about a 1-inch slice of cheese so it can be easily shredded at home.
