Chicken Cordon Bleu

Submitted by: Adrienne

Chicken Breasts, uncooked (# depends on preference)
Swiss Cheese, sliced
Deli ham, sliced
Bread crumbs (Italian seasoned are great)
Flour
Eggs, about 2 depending on # of people

Slice each chicken breast lengthwise on the side to open it up like a book, but not all the way through (also known as "butterflying" it). Put cheese and ham inside and close back up.

Heat up a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Make a breading station of a bowl of flour, a bowl of whisked eggs, and a bowl of bread crumbs. Place the chicken breast in each bown in that order. Cook each side of the chicken for about 3-4 minutes each, to sear each side and seal them. Then transfer to a baking dish and bake for about 20-30 minutes or until chicken is done.
