 meat boy is back today we are making chicken cordon blue carnivore style this is my lovely sister's favorite dish usually we make it together but it's you know more like her watching me make it as opposed to her helping me make it and I can't cook at all so we're gonna start an eggs what is true I tried to make myself breakfast this morning I burnt the eggs and also you're apparently not supposed to cook yogurt but apparently I didn't know that well Gina I'll guide you through it today okay thank you cuz I am stupid I tell let's show you guys the ingredients oh and my brother's got a book what's the title of the book it's called ancestral indignious diet achieving natural native health in a modern world you read the book Gina how do you like it it is a fantastic I swear this was completely her idea I didn't we were gonna do this at the end but read completely her idea completely her idea so before this I stopped by Whole Foods real quick and we got all of the ingredients this is super simple just some organic chicken they didn't have chicken breasts so I got chicken thighs you definitely want to go organic to remove any you know estrogenic herbicide agrochemical concerns this is gonna be high on mega six but you know you could just balance that later in the week by having some fish we have a raw cheddar cheese this is Neil's Yard keen farmhouse cheddar we also have some cheddar on Frankie's free-range meat and this is Serrano ham we have half a pound here so all we're gonna do is really you know combine these three things use a toothpick to stick them together throw them in the oven really simple really approachable I think this is one of my favorite carnivore dishes for dinner because usually you know kids don't like eating steak you want something approachable for people that you know aren't I guess red meat lovers so when my brother said in the oven I'm going to tell you all about my weight loss again are you doing as you know I lost over how many funds I lose 45 about 45 pounds 45 pounds I now have washboard abs you could grate cheese on it not yet you know maybe five ten more pounds to go before that way to go boosting my self-esteem there you go Frank and his sarcasm just you know ladies he's single what we're gonna do is cut it into strips that can be paired with the chicken so we have 16 chicken breasts so I'm gonna do 16 pieces of cheese as you see my brother's a very excellent chef you watch his videos and stuff each of these chicken thighs were $10 the cheese was about 20 the ham was about 10 so it'll maybe 50 55 dollars and this is going to be for her at least 10 nights worth of dinner so pretty cheap and affordable depending on how much you eat it could also have a breakfast too if you want since we're cooking this I bought the cheaper ham this is Spanish Serrano ham you could do prosciutto you could do bacon whatever you like you definitely want something salted and cured with a lot of flavor the lollipop ham alright so that is not what the ham is for today so all you need to do is we're gonna take the cheese we're gonna wrap it in the ham and then we're gonna take our chicken thigh I mean you could like butterfly the thigh cut it open a little bit more but you know what's the point in doing so much extra work so we just take the cheese wrapped in ham wrap the chicken thigh around it we'll take a toothpick and we'll go through the middle I usually do two toothpicks just to make sure it stays together and you know by all means guys that you know if you're doing this for a party you can make it a little bit nicer but you know nothing special you can maybe put some rope some butter on it put some herbs on it Gina is this your favorite dinner that I've made for you this is my favorite dinner that my brother Frank has made for me although I loved every meal that he's made me what do you think of vegan Gina don't eat I think that you call the animals I think I think people who are vegans are wonderful nice people unlike my brother in his opinions I don't really I believe that everyone is beautiful in their own special way don't you know you say that but the vegans are the people that are making fun of you the other day they might some vegan people are mean people are mean they tend to make fun of me because they're just jealous how fabulous you are you're like the great politician I know I sure am for president right and this is how it usually goes you know she she fools around while I make the food and then she eats it later and I tell a couple of jokes at my brother's expense just you know ladies he's not where it got a ladies and gentlemen he's not wearing makeup he's naturally that good-looking any ladies hit on you today there you go I guess I should call you a star crawling you Mr. Ear and Mr. International now yeah no okay you know some people have said that I'm taking advantage of you by having you in my videos is that sure have you been begging me to be I've been begging to be in his videos because I love my brother very much and I would do anything for him so I think it's because you want to be an actress that is true and those of you who are mean to my brother cut it out he's a good kind of person and you're just just because he's very talented and you probably don't have a talented bone in your body fantastic my parents always did say I would I am a ham so well jokingly though because I eat lots of ham and she's well people say that I'm very funny so yeah I also want to be a stand-up comedian so but then I would have to sit down a lot there you go actually make out a smile out of him and it takes a lot to do that and I'm very thankful and lucky he makes my dinner to me because knowing knowing my parents they would give me unhealthy stuff like fried chicken they still they still give her unhealthy stuff every day buckets of fried KFC chicken which I've had which that stuff is gross which I've had a long time you were eating at your program right because your friends don't care about what they eat right nope and they had these a day my friends to this day I don't understand why anyone would want to put all that stuff in their bodies is just disgusting like you used to be like they're not not everyone is as lucky to know what makes you healthy yeah so here we have the 16 court on blue what I'm gonna do now is just salts the top of it if you really wanted to you know you could even marinate the chicken before you do this in like salt honey time you know coconut aminos you can make this super duper flavorful and tasty but but even just like this you know it's great put a little black pepper on if you want I don't think it's needed what about putting honey on do you think that would go well I mean if you marinate the chicken and honey before it might be okay but it maybe drizzle a little bit on after but it's not really needed and it's already good enough I usually set the oven at 350 if you're not patient if you're in a rush you'll put it on high-boil the luxury we have today is a probe thermometer so all we have to do set the oven on 350 put the chicken in take our probe thermometer stick it in one of the chicken thighs and we don't really care about the cheese or the ham because those products are okay to consume raw we want this to be in the middle of the chicken thigh and since they are fairly thin they shouldn't take too long so here on the probe thermometer the internal temperature of the chicken thigh is 57 degrees I cook my chicken thighs to 175 so we're gonna take them to 167 and then let them get to temperature and you could cook chicken a little bit less if you like to but you know most people are taking chicken to like 190 200 degrees really killing it so this is definitely you know the best $20 I've spent on Amazon I put the oven up to broil just to speed things up a little bit right now we're on 165 degrees two degrees off 167 so it should be about another minute oh no we're good this is why I would use chicken breast if you can you know the thighs rented out a lot of fat here so here we have one of the smaller chicken thighs little miss piggy already had dinner so we're gonna have a smaller one I'll be happy whatever you give me here's the bite we have the chicken the ham and the cheese yummy I don't know how many of you guys grew up eating ham and cheese sandwiches but but this is what this reminds me of I think you're excited you're gonna be eating this for like two weeks straight you're gonna turn into chicken cordon blue probably be stuff full of ham and cheese yourself this is a simple version of cordon blue I'm sure many of you are familiar with the traditional recipe where they bread it and they serve it with a sauce by all means after you wrap the ham and cheese in chicken you can egg wash it and use parmigiano reggiano cheese as well as pork rinds you know just throw them in a blender blitz it up and you'll have a carnivore keto crust that you can use the problem with parmigiano reggiano cheese is you know it's pretty expensive to use high quality stuff as a breading and you don't want to use low quality stuff and the pork rinds are high Omega 6 so if you do want to bread this you do have to compromise on ingredients to some degree but that would be closer to the classic recipe the sauce for cordon blue really depends if you want to be strict carnivore or you want to go keto you know sometimes they put garlic in there they put Dijon mustard but normally the animal base ingredients for that sauce are butter milk and parmigiano reggiano cheese so all you really do is put some butter in a pan reduce some milk a little bit mix it with like half a cup to a cup of parmesan you have a really thick creamy cheese sauce to put on the chicken you can do both of those things I think this is super simple quick easy delicious if you want to jazz it up with the breading with the sauce you're looking at a cost investment a time investment as well as compromising on ingredient quality in some way you know not everyone is gonna have raw butter raw milk raw parmigiano reggiano to make a cream sauce for cordon blue so thank you guys for joining us today so good at least like the video subscribe hit that bell icon of course share the video okay that's team coming off guys would like
