Answer 2

Yum! Chicken Cordon Bleu is one of my all-time favorite dishes but it is a lot of work. If you feel like cheating a little, here is Kraft Foods' version-

The name Cordon Bleu meaning blue ribbon, is rich in history and heritage. It has been synonymous with excellence since the 16th century when King Henry III of France created the l'Ordre des Chevaliers du Saint Esprit or Order of the Knights of the Holy Spirit in 1578. It was the most exclusive order in France until 1789. This was due to the fact that it's members (including royalty) were awarded with the Cross of the Holy Spirit, which hung from a blue ribbon known as a Cordon Bleu. The sumptuous banquets accompanying their award ceremonies became legendary.

Category: Chicken Cordon Bleu

Serves/Makes: 4    |   Difficulty Level: 3    |   Ready In: 1-2 hrs

Ingredients:

2 whole chicken b*****s -- boned and skinned

4 teaspoons dijon mustard

4 slices ham

4 slices swiss cheese

1/2 cup flour

salt

black pepper

1 egg

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

peanut oil

Directions:

Cut each chicken breast in half. One at a time, place breast halves between two sheets of waxed paper and pound flat. Spread some mustard down the center of each breast, and then layer with 1 ham slice and 1 cheese slice. Fold breast half around the filling; beginning with one long side, then short sides, finishing with a long side making sure the filling is completely covered.

Season flour with salt and pepper. Beat egg lightly with 1 teaspoon water. Line up a plate with flour, a shallow dish with beaten egg, and a plate with bread crumbs. One by one, roll each piece in flour to coat, then dip in egg, coating completely, and roll in bread crumbs, pressing crumbs into egg coating. Press edges together and roll each piece as it is finished in a sheet of waxed paper. Place chicken pieces on a tray and refrigerate for one hour.

Heat enough peanut oil in a large frying pan so that it comes up half way. Fry chicken pieces, two at a time, in hot oil, until browned evenly on all sides; about 2 minutes each side. Remove from oil, drain on paper towel and place in a non stick baking dish. Bake at 350F degrees for 15 minutes.

Answer 4

This one is really good. It's my favorite, enjoy!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

4 boneless chicken b*****s, pounded flat

2 tsp Dijon Mustard or Sweet Hot Mustard

2 slices swiss cheese, cut in half

4 thin slices proscuitto or ham (I prefer honey ham)

1 egg, beaten with 1 tbs water

¼ cup flour mixed with 1/4 tsp garlic salt, and dash of pepper

1 cup bread crumbs

¼ cup butter or margarine

Spread each chicken piece with ½ tsp mustard. Place half slice of cheese and ham on each piece of chicken. Fold b*****s in half. Dip in flour, then egg, then crumbs. Place on rack and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow crumbs to set.

In large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Fry chicken about 5 minute on each side. Transfer to baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes at 350F.  Makes 4 servings.

Answer 5

Buy boneless skinless chicken breast. Make a pocket in it and stuff with ham and cheese/ or get the chicken breast and thin out with a meat tenderizing utensil (meat mallet) then stuff with ham and cheese. Once you stuff you need to close with tooth picks.

Just deli ham and cheese ( you can use swiss or mozzarella, or a cheese that melts nice and you like)

You are going to need seasoned flour (flour with salt and pepper)

beaten eggs

seasoned bread crumbs

dip stuffed chicken in seasoned flour, then eggs, last bread crumbs.

Put on baking dish coated with oil bake 350 degrees about 25 to 30 minutes (until chicken is cooked)

Answer 6

Take a boneless skinless chicken breast and butterfly it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqjfQP3Mp...  then lay your ham and cheese inside of it. (use thin ham and a thick sliced piece of swiss) close this and carefully roll in seasoned bread crumbs, lay on a baking sheet and bake at about 350 until chicken is done.  This will be gooey creamy and yummy.  Also, you can keep this closed with toothpick if you like (soak them in water for a while before going in the oven to prevent burning).  You can also do this with NO breading which is still wonderful and I have even had this wrapped in bacon them kept together with toothpicks!  YUMMMMO!
