Recipe Alert: Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is my combination of Chicken Cordon Blue and Parmesan Chicken.

4 chicken breasts, thawed, sliced almost in half
1 1/4 c. Parmesan - may require more
6 tbsp. all-purpose flour
Herbs and spices of your choice - I don't usually add any - but try Oregano, Basil, and a bit of Dill
1 1/4 c. Ranch Dressing or Caesar - may require more
4 slices Swiss, Monteray Jack, or Havarti Cheese
4 slices Black Forest or Honey Ham

Mix together your flour, cheese, and spices on a plate or in a bowl. Put your dressing in a separate bowl or plate.

Trim the chicken breasts of any fat, slice width wise, leaving one edge in tact. Open up the chicken breast and layer your ham, and cheese, and close it back up.

Coat your chicken in the dressing while holding the ham and cheese inside, coat it well in the parmesan cheese mixture. Place in an ungreased glass baking pan, sprinkle any left over cheese mixture over the top of the chicken and bake for 45-60 minutes (depending on thickness of chicken breasts) at 375°F

I usually serve with rice and asparagus or broccoli.

*Side note: you can also place asparagus spears in between the folded piece of cheese*


**Served with broad beans and bacon, green beans, and corn on the cob**
