Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu

Another favorite from, "The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner"

4 servings

2 slices white or wheat bread
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt
4 slices deli ham
6 this slices Swiss Cheese
8 tablespoons cold butter (1 stick)

1. Pulse bread in a blender to make crumbs. Set aside.

2. Pound chicken breasts to flatten. Lay the flattened breasts side by side on a platter, sheet pan, or a sheet of wax paper.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a baking dish.

4. Sprinkle each breast with salt. Add 1 slice ham, 1 slice of cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, and a sprinkling of bread crumbs. Roll up the breasts tightly and tuck in the ends. Place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish. When you have all of the breasts in the baking dish, top each with 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter and 1/2 slice of the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.

5. Bake 40-50 minutes. Basting occasionally. Cover the dish with foil when the chicken browns, to prevent it from drying out. The chicken is done when it is tender and not longer pink.

Enjoy!
