Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is a great recipe I learned while living in Germany.

4 servings

Prep time: 15 Min

Cook time: 45 Min

Ingredients
4 tablespoon butter
1 cup flour
4 boneless, skinless breasts of chicken
2 eggs lightly beaten
4 very thin slices ham
2 cups bread crumbs
6 ounces swiss cheese cut into four chunks

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in glass baking dish. Slice Chicken Breasts into a butterfly not cutting all the way through. Lightly flatten chicken breasts between plastic wrap with mallet.

Lay 1 slice of ham and 1 piece of cheese (or more if you like) on flattened breast, fold in half or roll and seal close with toothpicks.

Repeat process for remaining chicken breasts.

Coat each piece with flour, then eggs and then bread crumbs.

Place chicken pieces in glass baking dish. Turn to coat with butter. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
