Chicken Cordon Bleu

Directions

1. 1
   (I am not a fan of melted Swiss cheese, which is typically what is called for in a chicken cordon bleu.
2. 2
   Feel free to use shredded Swiss cheese instead of the mozzarella slices.)
3. 3
   Take the butterflied chicken and down the middle, lay down 3 slices of cheese, separated slightly, and then cut your ham slice in half and lay them on top of each other on the cheese slices.
4. 4
   Put the other 3 slices of cheese on top of the ham.
5. 5
   Roll up the chicken from top to bottom, tuck in the sides, and pierce with as many toothpicks as you need to hold it together.
6. 6
   Beat up the egg in a small bowl and pour the breadcrumbs onto a plate.
7. 7
   Dip the chicken into the egg then transfer it to the breadcrumbs and coat the entire piece of chicken.
8. 8
   Place in a baking dish and spray with butter spray to moisten the breadcrumbs.
9. 9
   Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.
10. 10
    Cut a slit in the chicken just to make sure it is done, as chicken will cook differently depending on size.
11. 11
    Remove all toothpicks.

    Note: I only made 2 pieces, but the serving sizes and quantities of items would obviously change to suit however many you make.
