Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is an easy version of cordon blue. If you have never tried to make it before because it sounds intimidating, then you are missing out! This is a really easy way to do it (as most are). I personally think this is a very inexpensive dish!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4  slices deli ham
• 4  slices swiss cheese
• 1⁄4 cup flour, in bowl
• 1 -2  egg, beaten, in bowl
• 1⁄2 cup  Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, in bowl
•  toothpick

Directions

1. Take chicken and place on a large cutting board. Put a piece of wax paper (or even saran wrap) over the chicken breast.
2. Use a heavy pan, or mallet, and smash the chicken breast till it spreads out to about the size of 2 chicken breasts.
3. Then place 2 pieces of ham on the chicken breast and then 2 pieces of cheese.
4. Take chicken and roll up into a log. If it isn't holding together, place a couple toothpicks into the chicken to hold in place.
5. Roll each piece in the flour, then in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs.
6. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and place in oven at 375°F and bake for 30-45 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through).
7. Cut each piece in 2 pieces, and serve!
