Chicken cordon bleu is a classic for a reason. Tender chicken is rolled around layers of savory ham and melty cheese. Topped off with a crunchy coating and an easy Dijon sauce, it's one elegant meal.
Ingredients :
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
2 slices deli ham
2 slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Directions :
Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; top each with ham and cheese. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks.
Place butter in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt and paprika. Dip chicken in butter then roll in crumb mixture.
Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks.
