I've always liked this dish, but thought that it would a pain to make. Quite the opposite. It was fast (except for pounding the chicken breasts) and easy.
The recipe calls for less cheese than I normally prefer. I would recommend throwing an extra slice of Swiss cheese on there.
This is a great dish; easy, fast, and delicious.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 thin slices of ham
4 oz of Swiss or Bleu Cheese (or more if you prefer)
1 tablespoon of melted butter
1 large egg, beaten
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Mix the melted butter and egg together in a medium bowl - set aside.
Pound the chicken to about 1/3" thick. Place the ham on the breast followed by the cheese. Roll up the chicken breast, secure with a toothpick. Dip the chicken breast in the mix of egg and melted butter mix. Make sure that breast is thoroughly coated. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on a separate plate, the roll the chicken breasts in the cheese. Roll around so that the breasts have a nice layer of cheese. Place in to a buttered (I use olive oil) baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until browned and tender.
Serve with your favorite vegetable side dish.
