Stuffed Chicken Breasts (Cordon Bleu)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (Ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).

3. 3

   Remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.

4. 4

   Mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.

5. 5

   Fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so I just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).

6. 6

   Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.

7. 7

   Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).

8. 8

   Remove toothpicks before serving!
