Chicken Cordon Bleu

                                     
                                                       Recipe inspired by taste of home


I was feeling very adventerous in the kitchen the day I made this. Something about chicken cordon bleu intimidated me but now I know I can do it! I'm not afraid to try and make or bake anything in the kitchen. It's all trial and error and learning from your mistakes! (and I've made plenty in the kitchen. You should ask my hubby about the time I made white chicken chili!! YUCK!)
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ingredients:

• 8 boneless skinless checken breast halves
• 1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)
• 8 slices (about 1oz each) lean deli ham
• 8 slices (about 1oz each) part skim mozzerella
• 2/3 cup fat free milk
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
1. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. (important!! I learned the hard way it will be super hard to roll if you don't!) Sprinkle with pepper; place a ham slice and slice of cheese on the center of each piece. Roll up and tuck in ends. This is the idea but my ends wouldn't tuck. Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine the cornflakes, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Dip chicken in milk, then roll in bread crumbs.

2. Place in a 13x9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until juices run clear.
