Chicken Cordon Bleu

Here is a simple, yet elegant recipe for homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu. Your friends will love it!


Take some boneless, skinless chicken breast and pound them with a kitchen mallet until the chicken is approximately 1/4 inch thick. Next, pepper both sides of the chicken breast. After you are done with that, take some cooked smoked ham and place a slice or two on top of the chicken followed by a few slices of Swiss cheese. Finally, roll up the chicken like a fruit roll up and use a tooth pick to hold everything in place. You can bread up the chicken roll with bread crumbs too at this point.


Set the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is done on the inside. If you want, you can place some Swiss cheese on top of the chicken towards the end of the baking cycle for more cheesy goodness! There is also the option of pan frying it but I haven't tried that yet.
