CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

  • 6 boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to ¼ inch thickness
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 slices shaved Black Forest ham
  • 4 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. honey

In a small mixing bowl combine mustard and the honey, spread half the mixture evenly over each chicken roll with a basting brush.

On a sheet of wax paper arrange bread crumbs then roll chicken pieces in the crumbs, coating all sides. Arrange chicken on nonstick baking sheet and drizzle each with 1 tsp. of vegetable oil.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes at 375̊F

To serve, remove tooth picks and place on platter
