Stuffed Chicken Breasts (cordon Bleu)

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 3/4 cup diced deli ham
• 3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400°f.
• 2 place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).
• 3 remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.
• 4 mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.
• 5 fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so i just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).
• 6 combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.
• 7 place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).
• 8 remove toothpicks before serving!
