Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

I usually plan my meals around sales and when boneless skinless chicken breast are on sale for $1.87 a pound, I snatch it up really fast.



Here is how I make Chicken Cordon Bleu:

Ingredients:

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
Deli Ham of your choice ( I do really thin slices, so about 3 for each breast)
Swiss Cheese (1 or 2 slices for each breast)
Small amount of milk
Bread Crumbs (I make mine homemade, you can use plain or Italian is very good as well)

You will need to flatten the breast the best you can.

Place your ham slices on top of the breast.

Place your swiss cheese on top of the ham.  

Starting at the smaller end of the Chicken, roll up the breast making sure that the ham and cheese are rolled with the chicken and place toothpicks at the seam area to hold together.  

Pour a small amount of milk into a bowl and dip the chicken roll into the milk covering all areas. Place your bread crumbs on a plate and transfer your chicken roll to the plate and roll in the bread crumbs until completely covered.  

Cook in a 350 degree oven until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Mine usually takes 45 minutes to an hour.  I make sure the meat thermometer reads 165.  

I don't worry about the meat getting too dry, but I do worry about not thoroughly cooking my chicken.  I have never had an issue with it being too dry.  

Enjoy,
